Uli, der Knecht (1954) Deutsch

Director: Franz Schnyder Writers: Richard Schweizer (screenplay), Werner Düggelin Stars: Hannes Schmidhauser, Liselotte Pulver, Heinrich Gretler Uli, the farm hand of the Boden farm, is a bawdy, careless, spendthrift fellow. Lectured by his master, he becomes aware that if he is to escape his abject condition, he must reform. He accordingly leaves the farm girl Anneliesi, turns his back on his drinking companions and starts working hard. His reputation improves so much so that Joggeli, an old farmer, hires him to restore order in the Giungge farm where chaos is rife. In using strong-arms tactics, Uli attains his ends and soon becomes indispensable. Attracted to the sweet Vreneli, Uli is unfortunately lured by Elisi, the master’s scheming daughter.
