That venerable Leo Fall operetta Die Rose von Stamboul was given a serviceable screen treatment in 1953. The fetchingly underdressed (Inge Egger) plays a pasha's niece, who agrees to a "marriage of convenience" to a supposedly stuffy diplomat. Alas, the girl has eyes only for a handsome composer (Albert Lieven). Imagine what will happen when she discovers (as the audience already has) that the diplomat and the composer are one in the same. Though well-directed and acted, Die Rose von Stamboul is saddled with rather lackluster photography, at least in the prints available for television. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Austrian songfest Ideale Frau Gesucht (Ideal Girl Wanted) was tailored specifically to the talents of the popular Wolf Albach-Retty. This time, Albach-Retty plays magazine publisher Robby Holm, engaged in a circulation war with beautiful rival Irene Martens (Inge Eggar). A publicity stunt revolving around an "ideal woman" backfires, but that's not so bad since the end result is a lasting romance. The songs by Willi Berking are enjoyable, if not truly outstanding. In America, Ideale Frau Gesucht enjoyed a modicum of success in the existing German-language "kinos." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Die Suendige Glenze (Border of Sin) is set in a shabby, poverty-stricken German border town. Facing starvation, a group of schoolchildren participate in a profitable smuggling operation. The village's new teacher (Dieter Borsch) hopes to put an end to the kids' criminal activities and find another means of replenishing the local economy. Along the way, he falls in love with local girl Marianne (Inge Egger). Much of the film is corny and contrived, save for the riveting performance by Jan Hendricks as the unregenerate teen-aged leader of the smuggling ring. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
