Großstadtmelodie (Melody of a Great City) is a romantic drama directed by Wolfgang Liebeneiner, following Renate Heiberg (Hilde Krahl), a provincial photographer seeking success in Berlin. It blends romance with propaganda by showcasing a, 1937–1938, bustling, intact city to offer a future, post-war vision.

This film is especially noteworthy for its portrayal of the Reichshauptstadt in all its glory. Only six weeks after the film's premiere, Berlin experienced the first of its heavy bombing raids, which were to continue regularly until War's end. Throughout the film there's a lot of Berlin footage interspersed, which comes from Leo de Laforgue's documentary Berlin Symphonie einer Weltstadt (which was shot in 1938-39 but not released in 1943 as planned, due to the destruction by the Allied bombardments and, as a result, the film having its premiere only in 1950).
