So You Won't Talk

Summary "Whiskers," the timid book reviewer on a metropolitan daily newspaper is fired, along with his girlfriend, switchboard-operator Lucy Walters. They agree to meet for dinner to discuss a book Whiskers is writing. Deciding to change his appearance as well as his ways, Whiskers has his beard shaved off at a barber shop. As he is leaving, he notices people shrinking from him in fear; without his whiskers, he is the exact image of "Brute" Hanson, a gang-leader just released from prison. He runs into "Dude" Heath, a Hanson henchman, and when he fails to recognize him, Dude thinks he has gone stir-crazy. Dude telephones Maxine Carewe, Hanson's sweetheart. Henchmen Dude, Maxie and "Dopey" kidnap Whiskers. He is knocked out and awakens in Maxine's apartment clad in pajamas. He leaps from the bathroom window, finds a raincoat, galoshes and umbrella in the basement and takes a taxicab to Lucy's apartment. Meanwhile, Hanson's gangland rival, "Bugs" Linaker, decides to kill Hanson. Since he is hot and on the spot, Hanson disguises himself with a beard and soon friends and enemies alike are unaware of which man is whom. View more details

Merz gegen Merz - Hochzeiten

Merz gegen Merz - Hochzeiten

Nach ihrer Scheidung kämpfen Anne und Erik leidenschaftlich um die Poleposition im Rennen um das glücklichere Leben. Anne legt gut vor, sie hat sich einen deutlich jüngeren Lover geangelt. Erik ist also im Zugzwang, zumal eine Doppelhochzeit in der Familie ansteht, auf der alle zusammenkommen. Sohn Leon will heiraten und plant eine gemeinsame Feier mit Oma Renate und Oper Günter, die ihr Ehejubiläum begießen wollen. Tatort: Gartenlaube. Erik will an diesem großen Tag natürlich im besten Licht erscheinen und greift zu ungewöhnlichen Mitteln bei seiner Partnersuche. Leon hat inzwischen erfolgreich sein Medizinstudium aufgenommen. Zwei Lügen in einem Satz, denn er ist bereits zwei Mal durchs Physikum gefallen - was er bislang weder seinen Eltern, die sein Studium finanzieren, noch seiner Verlobten erzählt hat. Annes Vater Ludwig mischt derweil das Pflegeheim immer wieder mit krassen Aktionen auf, und jedes Mal müssen die "Kinder" Anne und Erik anrücken für eine Standpauke bei der Pflegedienstleitung. Maria versucht sich im neuen Leben ohne Ludwig, das schlechte Gewissen immer im Gepäck. Auf der Hochzeitsfeier - zwischen Kartoffelsalat, Ludwigs musikalischer Einlage, einem Notarzteinsatz und einer ungeplanten Annäherung zwischen Anne und Erik - kommt es schließlich zum Showdown.
