Keep Smiling

1936 · 70 min · Comedy

Photographer Mátyás Blazsek lives in City Park with his daughter, Éva. Blazsek is modernizing his business and trying to make a name for himself as an enterprising photojournalist; he orchestrates a minor accident—planning to photograph Miklós Dénes, the inventor of the television, slipping on a melon rind as he returns home from London. The young man slips just as planned and grabs hold of Éva Blazsek, who is interviewing him; the sensational photo report subsequently appears in the newspapers with the caption "Miklós Dénes and His Fiancée." Although a wealthy bride awaits Miklós Dénes, he marries the photographer's daughter, defying his parents' objections.
