The Happy Wanderer (German: Der fröhliche Wanderer) is a 1955 West German romantic comedy film directed by Hans Quest. It stars Rudolf Schock, Waltraut Haas, Elma Karlowa, and Willy Fritsch.[1][2] It was shot in Agfacolor at the Tempelhof Studios in West Berlin and on location in Bavaria. The film's sets were designed by the art director Hans Kuhnert.
It is more than just a romantic comedy, but also is a Heimatfilm and references the Wandervogel movement and thus deals with modernization as a movement and its resonance on the culture where the film is set.
