Meiseken
Old Meiseken, a gingerbread baker, has been dead for three years, but his bosses don’t know that. They’ve been paying him his pension all this time, unaware that his former landlords have been cashing the checks. When, one day, the assistant head of the bakery, Tony, pays a visit to Meiseken’s place to get a hold of an old recipe, someone’s got to play the part of Meiseken! The fraud blows up in the landlords’ faces; but in the end, Tony gets the recipe book and even a new bride.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Meiseken is a very strong film rated 7.5/10. Great direction and performances make this one well worth adding to your watchlist.
A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.
A classic from 1937. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: any evening when you want quality cinema with no compromises.
