Die Schweizermacher (1978)


 

Two Swiss immigration officers assess several applications by curious and eccentric immigrants, including a couple of conformist German physicians, a pretty Eastern European dancer, and a particularly troublesome Italian family.

From memory: Hilarious and biting political satire is mainly intended as a vehicle for the popular comedian Emil Steinberger, whose humor hits the point  here, but may be a challenge for a foreign audience; to this day, the most successful Swiss film.

Halliwell (no star): "Amusing satirical comedy presumably has more bite in its home territory."
