The Money-Maker

1964 · 1h 33m · Comedy

Skip it. This obscure Austro-Hungarian period comedy has a promising premise—a bumbling counterfeiter caught between his nagging mother-in-law and a determined detective—but without any critical backing or cultural footprint, there's no reason to bet your evening on it when better-known comedies are waiting.

Plot

This film comedy takes place in the good old times of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy at the turn of the century. Bányai, an impecunious clerk suddenly finds himself to be able to make perfect imitations of ornaments on the bank-notes. Being spurred by his incessantly shrewish mother-in-law, he finds a solution to his family's financial problems overnight, but an ambitious detective becomes suspicious of him.

Director: Frigyes Bán
