Bachelor of Hearts is a 1958 British comedy film directed by Wof Rilla starring Hardy Krüger as a German who studies at Cambridge University.

Settling into his rooms at the fictional University College, Wolf has more than his share of trouble negotiating English customs and manners, as well as being the victim of pranks from his fellow students.

Bricusse wrote "In our story, a clever young Cockney lad, in our imagining the still-baby-faced Richard Attenborough, gets a scholarship to Cambridge, where we follow his subsequent hope-fully hilarious adventures.

Every subtle English comedic nuance was lost, and though the final film was far from being a disaster, it became what I can most charitably describe as a romantic non-comedy.

[6] Bricusse says this was the result of "an embarrassing ‘find a name for the movie’ competition, which provided the eventual stomach-turning title, Bachelor of Hearts.

"[2] He later wrote "Bachelor of Hearts was not the kind of movie that I should ever have wanted to write, but it furnished me with that vital commodity, a credit, without which no film career was likely to proceed.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "To offset its unremitting emphasis on all the more hackneyed eccentricities – real and imagined – of university life, Bachelor of Hearts has an engaging hero and heroine in Hardy Kruger and Sylvia Syms, pleasantly photographed backgrounds and a pervasive air of natural gaiety.

"[13] FilmInk magazine said "the film has nice colour, location footage, Belinda [sic] Steele as an ingenue, Peter Cook as an extra and maybe one funny joke.
