JUST PURCHASED/WATCHED RECENTLY... VERY NEW TO GERMAN FILMS FROM WWII ERA SO ITS A BRAND NEW ADVENTURE...CAUGHT HANS ALBERS IN ANOTHER FILM AND AM NOW GETTING ONTO OTHER FILMS HE WAS IN.. THIS IS ONE OF HIS BEST, SO FAR...DVD QUALITY IS FINE, ETC.  BUT THE REAL SCENE STEALER IN THIS FILM IS LILIAN HARVEY.. WHAT A DELIGHTFUL ACTRESS... (A GERMAN VERSION OF CAROLE LOMBARD....) THE SUPPORTING ACTOR IS EQUALLY FUNNY/TALENTED.  NOTE: I WAS SURPRISED WHEN I SAW THE NAME OF 'ROBERT SIODNAK; LISTED AS THE DIRECTOR!  AT SOME POINT HE MUST HAVE FLED GERMANY FOR HOLLYWOOD AND GONE ON TO DIRECT FILMS LIKE 'SON OF DRACULA STARRING LON CHANEY JR...AS WELL OF OTHERS FOR UNIVERSAL STUDIOS IN THE 40'S... ENJOYED THIS VERY FUNNY DELIGHTFUL/GOOFY COMEDY VERY MUCH!! .

Rather bizarre story of a girl who resides in a very strange sanatorium and is obsessed with a variety show performer.
Ok if you're a die-hard fan of either Lilian Harvey or Hans Albers, otherwise - pass.
