schwanenmeister, 02:16h
- Popular Cinema of the Third Reich -"It was a new discovery for me. I hadn't watched any of the early German musicals or comedies, that were made under the Third Reich. Which I found out through my research, mostly they did a few antisemitic movies and they did a few pro-nazi Hitler Youth movies, but for the most part their movies were there to get the German population's mind off the war. They went in for a whole lot of comedies and umpappa-musicals and romances. I found a couple of really cool songs that could play really good in the film."

- Ich wollt' ich wär' ein Huhn -"Lilian Harvey is terrific. She was a terrific comedian, she was a wonderful singer. Her and Willy Fritsch were the sweethearts of Germany. And then later she even went to America for a little while, did a few movies in America, went back to Germany, and then, when she left Germany at a certain point, she became completely persona non grata. It was actually against the law to mention her name in Germany."
- Davon geht die Welt nicht unter -"And then Zarah Leander was in so many ways the actress-diva of Nazi Germany and were kinda like their poster girl. There are actually rumors that exist to that day that she was a double agent for the Sowjet Union."
