A brilliant lyrical drama of Heinz Ruemann performed by a magnificent cast headed by Hertha Feiler, Hans Soehnker, Hans Nielsen and Susanne von Almassy. There is also a marvelous turn as a manservant by Erich Ponto who steals all of his scenes. Tremendous production values and an excellent score by Ruemann’s favored composer Werner Bochmann. This film premiered right before Christmas 1944. How did Germany manage to produce this beauty under the carpet bombing? There’s one noticeable musical number, an instrumental piece performed on about ten concert grands (on 108th min.)
