Original title: Lausbubengeschichten

## Synopsis

Tales of a Young Scamp is a 1964 West German period family comedy film directed by Helmut Käutner and starring Hansi Kraus, Heidelinde Weis and Georg Thomalla. It was shot in Eastmancolor at the Bavaria Studios in Munich and on location around the resort town of Tegernsee. The film's sets were designed by the art director Wolf Englert. It is based on a nostalgic depiction of Bavarian life in the late nineteenth century by Ludwig Thoma. It was a major commercial success and inspired a number of similar films into the 1970s. The following year Aunt Frieda directed by Werner Jacobs was released, inspired by Thoma's novel of the same title.
