| Summary |
Famous producer Otto Kruse brags that he will produce a successful, new kind of revue film. When the project is close to failing, he orders his stage manager to "do what it takes." Soon his young female assistant finds herself holding a dramaturg, composer and set designer hostage in a villa--with orders to keep them there until they create a cheerful revue film. The hostages fear it is impossible to please both the public and the critics. Only a young, brash, unknown musician who has insinuated himself into the group is enthusiastically inspired to create an opulent film revue and impress the young assistant producer. This East German backstage film musical--a colorful spectacle and tour de force of music and dance, is filled with clever references to Hollywood revues. It exemplifies the GDR's push to create box-office hits and compete with West German productions |
