It's "Pillow Talk"!!! Yes, the old movie with Rock Hudson and Doris Day! And the plot of this remake really isn't all that different from the original. In this 2002 version, the two protagonists also unwillingly share a phone line (a fault that the telephone company seems unable to correct), he's a raging womanizer, she's prim and proper and waiting for Mr. Right. And it continues just like the original: He approaches her under a false identity playing the perfect man, and - naturally - they fall for each other. Everything's peachy until he's found out. There's even the nice, chummy mutual friend. It's okay as a remake, but I feel the original screenwriter should have been given credit. It's so sad that German TV productions have to resort to plagiarism more and more often these days.

A wonderful movie !!!

I have seen this film and I loved it. It is an homage to the evergreen comedies from the 40s and 50s. The actors Anne Brendler and Heio von Stetten are charming and lovely and sexy. The music swings You through beautiful images of Berlin and the fast pace pushes You from one ironical, witty and romantic scene to the other. The humor in the dialogues is very nice. Any similarities to certain screwball comedies might be intended, I believe. The director has made a great job.
