Director Peter Bringmann has captured the ambiance of the port city of Bremerhaven at the end of the 1950s in this evocative slice-of-life drama. When a young 17-year-old falls in love with a slightly older woman, he weathers several setbacks before romance finds its own way. The woman he loves gets involved with an Afro-American soldier, partly in rebellion against the anti-American sentiment in the town, home to many GIs stationed in the city. Just as Elvis Presley arrives in Bremerhaven at the end of 1958 for a tour of duty, the love-struck 17-year-old is confronted with several unexpected circumstances that affect his life and the relationship with the woman he loves. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
This West German historical fantasy, based on the novel by Felix Pinner, examines what might have happened beginning in 1910 if the Ruhr valley steel mills had continued their normal civilian operations rather than being switched over to produce war materials. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
