Such a Rascal (German: So ein Flegel) is a 1934 German comedy film and starring Heinz Rühmann, Ellen Frank and Annemarie Sörensen. It was shot at the EFA Studios in Berlin. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Karl Böhm and Erich Czerwonski. Based on the novel Die Feuerzangenbowle by Heinrich Spoerl, Rühmann starred in the double role of the brothers Pfeiffer in this lesser known movie a decade before playing Hans Pfeiffer in the more popular 1944 version.
