Knall and Fall as Imposters (German: Knall und Fall als Hochstapler) is a 1952 Austrian-German comedy film directed by Ulrich Bettac and Hubert Marischka and starring Hans Richter, Rudolf Carl and Curd Jürgens.[1] It was followed by a 1953 sequel Knall and Fall as Detectives.
It was shot at the Sievering Studios in Vienna and on location across the city. The film's sets were designed by Fritz Jüptner-Jonstorff.
Two rural men are picked at random for parts in a film production in which they are to play a millionaire and his chauffeur. After an accident while shooting a scene, the car they are in runs out of control and ends up crashing into a sanatorium. The director, believing that a real millionaire has arrived at the financially struggling establishment, puts them up. They are forced for a while to live as imposters until matters are eventually resolved.
