Despite its sinister title, the German Gefaehrliche Gaeste (Dangerous Guests) is a romantic comedy. It all begins when Peter Anders (Wolf Albach-Retty) puts his house up for sale. Enter three small-time crooks, who pose as servants to case the joint. Also on a house-hunting expedition is toothsome heroine Inge (Vera Molnar), whose wealthy family the crooks hope to fleece. The film manages to accommodate a couple of antiseptic musical numbers, one of these performed by pianist Paul Kemp, cast as Inge's uncle. This is the sort of escapist fare that was so popular in Germany during the Hitler era; after the war, however, audiences demanded a bit more realism in their entertainment.
