Az okos mama

Fighting for the love of Tatár Éva, a prima donna about to retire, are baron Teddy, a young man, and Tabódy János, a landowner, not quite so young any longer, who proposes to the lady right after her farewell performance. Although the woman is attracted to this earnest-looking gentleman, she decides to turn him down as she would find it embarrassing having to tell him about her two grown-up daughters. During a visit at her daughters' she embarks on a scheme to do something about their marriages, both of which appear to be in some sort of a crisis. Her sons-in-law go on about their wives having failed, as they put it, to come up to expectations. To teach the men a lesson, Éva turns Kató, a simple and housewifely woman, into a flirting femme fatale, while transforming Zizi, otherwise a sociable lady liable to coquetry, into a plain-looking, boring, domesticated wife. Both men complain about their new wives and have a nostalgia for what the women used to be like. Eventually, both husbands realize they are better off appreciating the former selves of their spouses. Éva, having done all she could and realizing that her daughters do not need her any longer, decides to marry Tabódy. (texte officiel du distributeur)
