Liebe, Tanz und 1000 Schlager (Love, Dance and 1000 Songs) is nothing more nor less than a showcase for popular German-based songstress Caterina Valente. The star plays a small-town girl who is tapped for big-time stardom by talent agent Rudolf Platte. That's about all the plot there is, save for a few peripheral scenes involving Caterina's disapproving father (Williy A. Kleinau, whose film career flourished on both sides of the Iron Curtain during the mid-1950s). Ms. Valente's singing is superb; as for her acting. . .well, at least she doesn't bump into the furniture. Liebe, Tanz und 1000 Schlager enjoyed a healthy second life in the then-thriving German-language cinema circuit in the United States. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Officially listed as an Austrian film, Verliebte Leute (Loving Couples) was actually an Austro-German co-production. Through a series of comic complications, a humble telephone operator (Hannelore Bollmann) is mistaken for the daughter of a millionaire (Oskor Sims). Thus, when the chauffeur (Peter Passetti) falls in love with the girl, he feels he must prove himself worthy of her "station in life." Several misunderstandings later, the truth comes out, but love conquers all, as the audience knew it would in Reel One. The most striking aspect of Verliebte Leute is its breathtaking location photography. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
