Die Feuerzangenbowle

Based On the book by Heinrich Spoerl

Die Feuerzangenbowle (German pronunciation: [ˈdiː ˈfɔʏ̯ɐt͡saŋənˌboːlə], The Fire-Tongs Bowl or The Punch Bowl) is a 1944 German comedy film directed by Helmut Weiss, based on the book of the same name. It follows the book closely, as its author, Heinrich Spoerl, also wrote the script for the film. Both tell the story of a famous writer going undercover as a student at a small-town secondary school after his friends tell him that he missed out on the best part of growing up by being educated at home. The story in the book takes place during the time of the Wilhelmine Empire in Germany.
