Der Fidele Bauer is another postwar attempt to recapture the effortless charm of prewar Austrian musical films. Scripted by librettist Viktor Leon, this is the life story of popular 19th-century tunesmith Leo Fall. Paul Hoerbiger stars as the peasant lad who aspires to become a famous composer. Upon reaching the top, Fall turns his back on his humble origins, breaking the hearts of his hard-working parents. But a happy ending is not only expected under these circumstance -- it is compulsory. At the time of its release, Der Fidele Bauer was dismissed as old-fashioned, though the reviewers were quite taken with the fresh beauty of young leading lady Marianne Wischmann.
