AMATEUR FILM BY ALFRED KREUTZBERGER AND ERNST LAX [Alternative Title]
Summary: Local cinema commercial for Beuthen (Upper Silesia, Germany) promotes town's leading men's outfitters Hamburger & Co, by a simple story based on proposition that the well dressed man gets the girl. Documentary shots record daily life in the city and the presence of Jewish clothing shops shortly before the Nazi seizure of power.
Description: Simple story has "He", dressed in ill-fitting and old-fashioned clothes, laughed at by stylish young women wearing latest cloche hats. His elderly friend tells him where he can buy a good suit, so they take a taxi to the city centre. Here shop fronts announce the businesses of Hugo Schüftan, Josef Cohn and Fanny Böhm, and they enter Beuthen's "leading shop for Men's Fashions", Hamburger & Co. Various well-tailored suits and overcoats are modelled for the camera. "He", now immaculately dressed, is next seen winning the friendship of a stylish young woman seated on a park bench. They admire the town's Bismarck memorial, then dine together that evening; they kiss and the curtain closes, with the words "Now I buy my complete outfits only at W Hamburger & Co."
