Viktor und Viktoria

The singer Susanne steps in for the sick female impersonator Viktor and from then on imitates the man who imitates a woman on stage… A highlight of the musical comedies in the early days of German sound films, at the same time a final point in an entertaining tradition set by the Nazis.
