This film had to waif for a long, long time. There were eleven years between the shooting and the release! A Crazy Day was shot in the summer and autumn of 1944; by the time the Third Reich collapsed, this film was in music synchronization. Other so called "turncoat films" (which were in the middle of post production at the end of the war) were mostly released between 1946-49; some never saw light. Why this one had to wait for ten years, is a mystery. Especially, since this is an unpolitical film - based on The Marriage of Figaro by Beaumarchais. Once released, the film received only tepid reviews - but then again, times had changed... It's a nice comedy with handsome actors; Ilse Werner was at the height of her career in 1944 - truly a 'modern'. Ein Toller Tag is one of the 12 colour feature films produced during the WW II in Germany (Agfacolor).
