The Golden Goose (German: Die goldene Gans) is a DEFA movie from 1964, based on the Brothers Grimm’s fairytale of the same name.Klaus, the cobbler, and his two brothers Kunz and Franz work together in a little cobbler’s shop which they have inherited from their dead father. Since the two lazy brothers refuse to do any work, Klaus (also called “Dummling�) has to do everything on his own.One day, Klaus is sent to the forest to chop wood. His brothers had attempted to do the same, but their plans were foiled by an old beggar woman. When Klaus meets the old hag, he is kind to her and shares his food and drink, for which he is rewarded with the titular golden goose. It soon turns out that everyone who touches the goose gets stuck to it. The first to fall victim are the sisters Lies and Gret, though it doesn’t take long until a whole parade of people is glued to the waterfowl. This gives Klaus, who finds the whole situation rather funny, the idea to visit the princess, since whoever manages to make her laugh receives her hand in marriage.When Klaus and his troop arrive at the castle, the princess find them so funny that she can finally laugh again. Still, the king refuses to marry his daughter off to a cobbler and begins bombarding Klaus with increasingly difficult tasks. Thanks to his cleverness and newfound friends, Klaus manages to protect the king’s treasure as well as the princess against the evil prince Störenfried, and eventually receives his well-earned reward.
