Tales of a Young Scamp (German: Lausbubengeschichten) is a 1964 West German period family comedy film directed by Helmut Käutner and starring Hansi Kraus, Heidelinde Weis and Georg Thomalla.[1] It was shot in Eastmancolor at the Bavaria Studios in Munich and on location around the resort town of Tegernsee. The film's sets were designed by the art director Wolf Englert.[2] It is based on a nostalgic depiction of Bavarian life in the late nineteenth century by Ludwig Thoma. It was a major commercial success and inspired a number of similar films into the 1970s.[3] The following year Aunt Frieda directed by Werner Jacobs was released, inspired by Thoma's novel of the same title.
