Because she is a commoner the social pressures of the [Saint Petersburg](/source/Saint_Petersburg) elite compels her not to turn up for their wedding. In 1920 in [Berlin](/source/Berlin) with the two now [émigrés](/source/%C3%89migr%C3%A9), they meet again. Now he is working as a [taxi driver](/source/Taxi_driver) and Vera is a famous singer. Again they make plans to marry, but this time it is the groom who backs out as he feels he can't wed her as an impoverished exile. Finally they encounter each other for a third time on an [ocean liner](/source/Ocean_liner) where he is a [bartender](/source/Bartender) and she a model. Feeling that social distinctions no longer matter, they at last marry on the third attempt. ## Cast - [Willy Fritsch](/source/Willy_Fritsch) as Fürst Alexander Woronin - [Marte Harell](/source/Marte_Harell) as Vera Petrowna - [Theo Lingen](/source/Theo_Lingen) as Felix - [Hermann Brix](/source/Hermann_Brix) as Leutnant Tatarinoff - [Hedwig Bleibtreu](/source/Hedwig_Bleibtreu) as Herzogin Tatjana - [Theodor Danegger](/source/Theodor_Danegger) as Fürst Paul - [Alfred Neugebauer](/source/Alfred_Neugebauer) as Fürst Gregor - [Hans Zesch-Ballot](/source/Hans_Zesch-Ballot) as Rittmeister Graf Lievers - [Erik Frey](/source/Erik_Frey) as Oberleutnant Raswjenko - [Ernst Bader](/source/Ernst_Bader) as Leutnant Mischa - [Nicolas Koline](/source/Nicolas_Koline) as Verwalter Stepan - [Rosa Albach-Retty](/source/Rosa_Albach-Retty) as Tante Nastja - [Leo Peukert](/source/Leo_Peukert) as Kommerzienrat Knopp - [Franz Herterich](/source/Franz_Herterich) as Großfürst - [Richard Eybner](/source/Richard_Eybner) as Haushofmeister - [Franz Böheim](/source/Franz_B%C3%B6heim) as Ivan - Catharina Reichert as Tante Olga - [Fritz Imhoff](/source/Fritz_Imhoff) as Herr Schmid ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** Hull p.204 1. **[^](#cite_ref-2)** Von Dassanowsky p.96 1. **[^](#cite_ref-3)** [https://www.filmportal.de/film/dreimal-hochzeit_27340ceb0f2c41d9ad91afdecf1a0c6d](https://www.filmportal.de/film/dreimal-hochzeit_27340ceb0f2c41d9ad91afdecf1a0c6d) ## Bibliography - Hull, David Stewart. *Film in the Third Reich: A Study of the German Cinema, 1933–1945*.
