Today's video features a song from the 1930 movie "Einbrecher" starring Lilian Harvey, Willy Fritsch and Heinz Rühmann. "Ein Liebelei, so nebenbei!" could be translated as "A little flirt on the side".... The early 1930s were the era of multilingual movie productions. Because dubbing techniques were still under development, movies would be shot scene by scene in different languages - sometimes with the same actors or with actors popular in their respective countries.... The brightest star of this fascinating era in movie history was Lilian Harvey. Anglo-German Lilian Harvey (1906-1968) was undoubtedly the greatest European movie star in the early 1930s. She starred simultaneaously in German, French and English versions of her movies. Together with Willy Fritsch she was the "dream couple" of German cinema - Henri Garat, being his equivalent in French productions. She also starred with Charles Boyer and Laurence Olivier in his first movie (The temporary widow/Hokus Pokus - 1930). With a popularity reaching from Lisbon to Istanbul several American studios tried to lure the star to Hollywood... In fact the Ufa Studios in Babelsberg (near Berlin) were more worried about keeping Lilian Harvey under contract than about loosing Marlene Dietrich to Paramount... In 1933 Lilian Harvey left for Hollywood but her movies made at Fox (and one for Columbia) proved to be a disappointment. Furthermore her fiancé - the director Paul Martin - was only given oen movie to direct and was miserable in Hollywood. After walking out of "George White's Scandals (which made Alice Faye a star) - Lilian Harvey returned to Germany in 1935, starring in Schwarze Rosen/Les roses noires/Black Roses (aka Did I betray?). She continued to make succesful movies for UFA until 1939 ("Glückskinder/Les gais lurons" and "Sieben Ohrfeigen" most notably). Increasingly ill at ease in Germany she left for France in 1939 where she starred in 2 further movies : "Sérénade" and "Miquette". As war came to France she went to the USA and settled down in Hollywood hoping to continue her career. She never filmed again. She did work for the red cross as well as in the theatre. After the war she toured Europe for a while and went to live on the French riviera where she opened a shop. She occasionally starred in plays but her name was forever connected with the early 1930's, when she really was "das süsseste Mädel der Welt" (the sweetest girl in the world). Today her song "Das gibt's nur einmal"/"Seraît-ce un rêve?"/"Just once for all time" continues to charm film fans and record collectors. She died in 1968. The band featured on this fine recording is the anonymous Odeon Tanzorchester. Interesting is also the matrix number : Qu 251 - which according to the Lotz matrix lists - points to "request" records or matrixes used from other companies such as Gloria or Parlophon. If anyone has any idea which band is playing here, feel free to leave a comment. The video features images of Lilian Harvey and her frequent partner Willy Fritsch. The next video features the French version of "Eine Liebelei, so nebenbei !" - called "Si c'est ça l'amour". About the record : Odeon O- 11 389a / mx.
