Background

The 1962 film was already the fifth dramatization for the screen. Originally created as a droll story for the stage by Hanns Kräly, it was first adapted as a movie in 1920 by Ernst Lubitsch and had seen remakes in 1930, 1943 and 1955. This version changed the location from Bavaria, Germany to the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland, due to the female lead who made use of her native tongue in portraying Susi.
