Trouble with Jolanthe (German: Krach um Jolanthe) is a 1934 German romantic comedy film directed by Carl Froelich and starring Wilhelm P. Krüger, Marianne Hoppe and Olaf Bach.[1] It was remade in 1955 as The Happy Village. A separate Swedish adaptation Jolanta the Elusive Pig had been released in 1945.
The film's sets were designed by the art director Franz Schroedter.
The film adapts "August Hinrichs's folk-play Krach um Jolanthe (The Row about Yolanthe), also known in a Low German version as Swienskomödie (Jolanthe was a pig)."[2] The play is remembered as one of Hitler's favourite.[3]
