Wenn der Vater mit dem Sohne is a 1955 West German film directed by Hans Quest.
When Ulli surprises Teddy with a children's clown costume, which he accidentally found in the attic, Teddy hesitantly tells the story of his life: Formerly he was a famous clown who performed together with his son.
Teddy flees with Ulli from Berlin to Switzerland, pursued by the child's mother, her husband, and several assistants.
Finally Ulli moves with his parents to America, and Teddy, who reluctantly comes to terms with it, gives a sad solo performance at the end.
