Schöne Witwen küssen besser (2004)

A working-class German woman slides effortlessly into the role of a well-heeled baroness in the feisty screwball comedy Schöne Witwen küssen besser (2004). Iris Berben stars as Corinna, an enterprising young beauty who seizes a rare opening to tag along to a billionaire’s get-together in Nice. Determined to improve her lot in life, Corinna angles to impress the wealthy businessman but gets headed off by a gaggle of determined suitors. Carlo Rola’s film boasts zany jokes and screwball antics, but it’s the makeup of the cast that puts it over the top. Berben, Sophie Schütt, splash about poolside with little attention to swimwear.
