- Originally Liebe in Ring, this German part-talkie is a generally agreeable effort to transform heavyweight boxing champ Max Schmeling into a movie star. It's the old saw about an up-and-coming pugilist who ignores his loyal girlfriend in favor of a wealthy adventuress. His new romance nearly wrecks the hero's career, but with the help of his friends -- and of course, his real sweetheart -- he makes a spectacular comeback. The final scenes show Schmeling and his new bride heading for America, which was evidently Mecca so far as pre-Hitlerian German filmmakers were concerned. Max Schmeling's leading lady in Love in the Ring is Olga Tschechowa; in real life, he married the equally popular actress Anny Ondra. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
- The pediatrician Waldemar Weber is in despair: his adoptive son Egon from his first marriage has announced he will be visiting, of all things, on his first wedding anniversary, although Waldemar has always kept it a secret from his young wife Henny. Waldemar absolutely has to intercept Egon. When Egon is at the door after all, he also turns out to be a monkey trainer. He also brought his chimpanzees Kiki, Koko and Kaka. Waldemar has his hands full explaining Egon's existence and hiding the chimpanzees from his suspicious wife. But is the bedroom closet really the right hiding place?
