It marked the German debut of van Eyck who had actually been born in [Pomerania](/source/Pomerania) but had spent many years in the United States, leading him to be promoted in the film's publicity as an American actor.[2] The film's sets were designed by the [art director](/source/Art_director) [Max Mellin](/source/Max_Mellin). It was shot at the [Bavaria Studios](/source/Bavaria_Studios) in Munich. The film's music combines elements of American [big band](/source/Big_band) [jazz](/source/Jazz) and German [folk music](/source/Volksmusik).[3] ## Synopsis In [Southern Germany](/source/Southern_Germany) in the months after the end of the [Second World War](/source/Second_World_War), the commander of American forces occupying a German town tries to promote friendship with the locals by organising a musical show with the assistance of a female [music student](/source/Music_student) who has recently returned from entertaining German soldiers on the [Eastern Front](/source/Eastern_Front_(World_War_II)). By inviting a multi-national [orchestra](/source/Orchestra) to perform, the two achieve greater international harmony although the student ultimately decides to marry a local [architect](/source/Architect) rather than the American soldier. ## Cast - [Margot Hielscher](/source/Margot_Hielscher) as Maria Neubauer - [Hans Söhnker](/source/Hans_S%C3%B6hnker) as Walter Reinhardt - [Peter van Eyck](/source/Peter_van_Eyck) as Tom Keller - [Bobby Todd](/source/Bobby_Todd) as Cesare - [Heidi Scharf](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heidi_Scharf&action=edit&redlink=1) as Renate - [Iska Geri](/source/Iska_Geri) as Grit - [Hannelore Bollmann](/source/Hannelore_Bollmann) as Herta - [Madelon Truß](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Madelon_Tru%C3%9F&action=edit&redlink=1) as Berta - [Werner Scharfenberger](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Werner_Scharfenberger&action=edit&redlink=1) as Teddy - [Richard Bendig](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Richard_Bendig&action=edit&redlink=1) as Seppl - [Oliver Hassencamp](/source/Oliver_Hassencamp) as René - [Johannes Buzalski](/source/Johannes_Buzalski) as Gabor - [Toni Thormal](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Toni_Thormal&action=edit&redlink=1) as Jan - [Jürgen Wulf](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=J%C3%BCrgen_Wulf&action=edit&redlink=1) as Hans - [Peter Fiedler](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Peter_Fiedler&action=edit&redlink=1) as Fritz - [Panos Papadopulos](/source/Panos_Papadopulos) as Musiker - [Freddie Brocksieper](/source/Freddie_Brocksieper) as Musiker - [Helmut Zacharias](/source/Helmut_Zacharias) as Musiker - [Eberhard Keim](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eberhard_Keim&action=edit&redlink=1) as Musiker - [Cläre Ruegg](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cl%C3%A4re_Ruegg&action=edit&redlink=1) as Frau Neuhaus - [Bob Norwood](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bob_Norwood&action=edit&redlink=1) as Sergeant - [Franklie Clay](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Franklie_Clay&action=edit&redlink=1) as Sam - [Ingeborg Morawski](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ingeborg_Morawski&action=edit&redlink=1) as Frl.
