Kitty and the World Conference

The setting is Lugano Switzerland where an apparently very important world conference takes place The film tells the story of the young Kitty Hannelore Schroth who works as a manicurist at the Eden Hotel and who in the course of events gets to know both a young journalist Christian Gollong and the English minister of economics Fritz Odemar A lot of wild mixups comic situations a love story and occasional singing ensue and in the end most of the VIPs have gained their share of laughter Theres also a great performance by Paul Hörbiger as the hotel porter For a 1939 film made in Germany Kitty is remarkably irreverent and satirical about politics
