Cairo Season (1933)

Directed by Reinhold Schünzel

Overview

Comedy with an Egyptian backdrop:  Businessman Tobby and the Countess Stafanie wish to take all the fun away from their single parents and make them marry each other.  Their parents have the same plan, too ... but with regards to their nosy kids.  And so it happens, that Tobby wants to surprise the parents with the announcement of their—the parents’—engagement at a party (so nice to let them know), but is one-upped by Stefanie’s father, the old Count, who announces the engagement of the kids.  To avoid a scandal, they have to get married, but will divorce later.
