Wedding Night in the Rain (German: Hochzeitsnacht im Regen) is a 1967 East German musical[1] romantic comedy film, directed by Horst Seemann and starring Frank Schöbel, Traudl Kulikowsky, and Herbert Köfer.

Plot

The plot centers around Gabi, a hairdresser hailing from the Baltic coast, who has her heart set on becoming East Germany's first-ever female jockey.[2] To achieve her goal, Gabi relocates to Berlin, where she weds Freddy, a motorcyclist. Her aspirations take shape when a benevolent stableman permits her to train in secret. Nevertheless, her attempts are met with rejection by the head coach at Hoppegarten.[2]

Critics have lauded the movie, citing it as an exquisite, captivating, and extraordinary piece of cinema.[3] The Czech version of the film boasts remarkable design work by Zdenek Ziegler.[4]
