It’s the same basic story as the German film version. But the Hungarian stage version involves a water polo team. (Maybe it was too expensive in 1937 to film two radically different movies in German and Hungarian?) To this day, the Hungarians mostly play the water sports version, while… Germany is now getting the football option. It would be great to have the film on DVD, because Barsony is simply outstanding.
