“Pro­duced on behalf of the Aus­tri­an fed­er­al gov­ern­ment, designed in the guise of a comedic fea­ture film pam­phlet against the occu­py­ing pow­ers. Three years before the sign­ing of the State Treaty this first and last ’state film’ han­dles the his­tor­i­cal facts with con­sid­er­able license – and the match ‘Aus­tria ver­sus the rest of the world’ ends in the appro­pri­ate man­ner.” (Diag­o­nale 2000)
