Lily Boy

The film is set in the days of the travelling theatre companies. Liliomfi acts with one of them. They move from town to town. Mariska is a young girl. She was raised by Professor Szilvay. The man is her guardian. The two young people meet and fall in love. Nobody knows of the bond between them. One detail is hidden from them as well. Szilvay is in fact Liliomfi’s uncle. The professor does not consider acting a respectable trade. He wants the young man to give it up. He makes a plan to that end. The couple set out to show up the man’s hypocrisy. The film is a comedy carried along by its songs. Iván Darvas and Marianne Krencsey appear in the one hundred nine minute film, a Hungarian production Károly Makk finished in 1955.
