falls in love with Giesecke's beautiful daughter Ottilie. As it happens, Sülzheimer's son Sigismund, a would-be beau, also arrives at the White Horse Inn. Angry at first about Siedler's presence at the same inn, Giesecke soon has the idea of marrying off his daughter to Sigismund Sülzheimer, thus turning a pending lawsuit into an advantageous business merger. However, Siedler's love is reciprocated by Ottilie, who adamantly refuses to marry Sigismund, while Sigismund himself has fallen for Klärchen Hinzelmann, a naive beauty who accompanies her professorial father on a tour through the Salzkammergut. Seeing all this, Leopold Brandmeyer decides that he has had enough and quits his job. Josepha has also done a lot of thinking in the meantime, reconsiders her head waiter's proposal of marriage, and can persuade him to stay—not just as an employee but also as proprietor. Love gets its way with the other two couples as well, and the play ends with the prospect of a triple marriage. Musical numbers "Im weißen Rössl am Wolfgangsee" (Music: Ralph Benatzky) "Was kann der Sigismund dafür, dass er so schön ist" (Robert Gilbert) "Im Salzkammergut, da kann man gut lustig sein" (Ralph Benatzky) "Es muss was Wunderbares sein" (Ralph Benatzky) "Mein Liebeslied muss ein Walzer sein" (Robert Stolz) "Zuschaun kann i net" (Bruno Granichstaedten) "Die ganze Welt ist himmelblau" (Robert Stolz) Film adaptations A post-war Argentinian movie in Spanish, La Hostería del caballito blanco, was directed by Benito Perojo and released in 1948. A Danish film of 1964 by Erik Balling, Sommer i Tyrol (although Tyrol is the original setting), starred Dirch Passer and Susse Wold. In addition, the musical triggered a number of spin-offs such as the 1961 Austrian comedy film (The Black Horse Inn), directed by Franz Antel, about a young woman (surprisingly, it was Karin Dor again, who had just played Giesecke's daughter in the 1960 version) who inherits a dilapidated hotel on the shores of the Wolfgangsee. As a matter of fact, a number of hotels in St. Wolfgang do use similar names (Black Horse, White Stag, etc.). Most recently, a new musical film adaptation of "Im Weissen Rössl" came out in November 2013 with the German title from director Christian Theede. Unlike its predecessors, however, the movie was not filmed on location at the Hotel Im Weissen Rössl in St. Wolfgang, Austria.
