Uli der Knecht

✭ ✭ ✭ ✭

Switzerland · 1954
1h 55m
Director Franz Schnyder
Starring Hannes Schmidhauser, Emil Hegetschweiler, Liselotte Pulver, Heinrich Gretler
Genre Drama, Romance, Comedy

The film traces Uli's progress from his humble peasant surroundings to the homes of the wealthy and prominent. The characterizations are convincing, and the comic interludes surprisingly subtle and believable for a Swiss film. The no-star cast doomed Uli Der Knecht from the start so far as American distribution was concerned. It was another matter in Switzerland, where the film was one of the year's top moneymakers. Uli der Knecht was based on a novel by Jeremias Gottbelf.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
