Makkers staakt uw wild geraas

Summary

Film about Dutch society at the beginning of the 1960s.

Three families are preparing for an evening of Saint Nicholas cheer. Each of the families is having problems. One couple, an ad agency man and his wife are growing apart. Another, intensely respectable couple is having trouble coping with their wayward son. The husband in the third couple is an incorrigible womaniser who nevertheless tries to patch things up with his wife.

After the success of Dorp aan de rivier (Village by the river) at the Berlin Film Festival two years earlier, Fons Rademakers was nominated again and received a Silver Bear in 1961. It was the first time a Dutch film won a prestigious international award.
