Dinner for One (also known as The 90th Birthday), which is now a New Year’s tradition on television, gained cult movie status in Germany after it was filmed in Hamburg in 1963. This extremely funny slapstick comedy takes place in a centuries-old British mansion, where the last remaining member of the family, Miss Sophie, celebrates her 90th birthday. The whole sketch takes place in the dining room, with Miss Sophie at the head of the table, and places are set for her ‘guests’ – all of whom are deceased.The butler, James, has to serve the guests a four-course meal – and there is a drink for each course! Since none of the guests except Miss Sophie are there in flesh and blood, Miss Sophie insists that James play each guest’s role and therefore drink all their drinks on their behalf’. “Same procedure as every year, James.” As he struggles to help Miss Sophie celebrate her 90th birthday by acting out the parts of her dearly departed drinking friends at the annual dinner party, the ensuing mishaps provide unpredictably funny results.
As ‘n toegif voer Elma en Justin ná pouse Sopper vir Een ook op. Die verrassing is dat Sopper vir Een die spot dryf met Dinner for One. Elma speel dan die rol van die butler, en Justin dié van Miss Sophie. Sopper vir Een is deur Frans Swart verwerk om dit Suid-Afrikaans te maak. “Die intrige is presies dieselfde – dis nog steeds ‘n verspotte jol!” sê Frans. Maar ek het die tweede weergawe ‘versuidafrikaniseer’, en dit was baie groot pret! Die gehoor gaan mal wees daaroor! Die klassieke weergawe is so bekend, en die gehoor weet presies wat om te verwag, maar daar gaan ‘n hele klomp verrassings in die tweede weergawe wees”.
