The Merry Vineyard (German: Der fröhliche Weinberg) is a 1927 German silent comedy film directed by Jacob Fleck and Luise Fleck and starring Rudolf Rittner, Camilla Horn and Lotte Neumann.[1] It was based on a play by Carl Zuckmayer,[2] and was remade in 1952 as a sound film.
The playwright had strong reservations about having his work translated on screen but never opposed any film adaptation.[3]
The film's art direction was by Oscar Friedrich Werndorff.
