A 1958 Casanova romp through Munich — 99 brides, zero chill, and one very busy man.
Nicki Montag is considered a true Casanova in the Munich suburbs. However, this is obviously not only down to him, but also to the numerous women who are only too happy to fall for his advances. With the help of his work-shy friend Jonny, Nicki beguiles one woman after another in a variety of ways. It doesn't matter whether it's the daughter of a greengrocer, a real lady or a proper artist's girl. In the case of the demanding Mrs. Consul Hale, it is even Nicki who is conquered.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Alfred Vohrer's directorial debut before he became the face of 1960s German Edgar Wallace krimis. The studio system here churned out 'Schlagerfilme' — musical romances built around hit songs and light eroticism.
Corny Collins, who plays Irmelin, became a massive TV personality in West Germany — imagine a 1950s German Dick Clark. Her presence here was pure box-office insurance.
