where do i start . per the title of this film i expect some degree of authenticity and in the end i be severally let down . this be not the story of lale andersen or the song lili marlene and rather it be a hollywood ( or pick your film make hub ) story loosely base on some real life character . i should have have a clue when i hear a heavy english accent give the intro to the movie in german while the blood red text ( title and artist ) should have be the 2nd clue . the story line be contrive ( lale be not trick out of switzerland rolf liebermann parent and there be no info that liebermann help smuggle jew from germany and the original song have be record outside of the control of the n regime not while under control and the record play at the station be pick up in vienna while a lt. be there on leave and etc and etc ) the costume be poor and incorrect for the time frame ( ss black uniform use every where from border guard to staff position and these go away from daily use once the war start and etc ) and the character be stereo type ( sa bully in a club once they be essentially out of power ) . don not waste your time .
