Der Geisterbräu (1963) Deutsch

Director: Olf Fischer Writer: Josef Maria Lutz (play) Stars: Ruth Kappelsberger, Karl Peter Holzmüller, Alfred Pongratz After a life of wine, women and song (and while playing a deck of cards), Xavier Bogenrieder, owner of the renowned beerhouse Unterbräu, has finally keeled over. His wake is less than harmonious: for one, one of his mistresses makes an unwanted appearance (and unwarranted financial demands), for the other, his longsuffering widow Wally (Ruth Kappels) is immediately swarmed by wouldbe futurehusbands, among them the local teacher, pharmacist and postal worker. Much to the chagrin of the establishment s manager Sebastian (Karl Peter Holzmüller), who has been loyally keeping the place running but has for the longest time fallen in love with Wally. The local Shepherd Sixtus (Maxl Graf) comes to Sebastian s aid, suggesting that a potential haunting might drive Wally into Sebastian s arms, offering himself to play the part of the deceased s ghost.
