This tale of fleeting romance is a commendable first-feature effort by documentarian Guido Guerrasio, and it has to do with two young men out on an adventure during one week-end. Enrico (Geronimo Meynier) and Sandrino (Sandro Panseri) decide to escape the noise of Milan to head north to the lake country and better scenery. One part of the better scenery that they find is Joan (Marianne Hold), a comely Dutch lass who is unfortunately chaperoned. One chaperone is never much of a challenge and before the week-end has drawn to a close, Enrico and Sandrino have followed her everywhere with some hopeful results for one of them. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

The wartime song hit Lili Marlene is woven into the plotline of this German romantic drama. The story concerns a German soldier named Franz (Adrian Hoven) and his lady love Christa (Marianne Hold). When first they met in a restaurant, the orchestra was playing Lili Marlene. Then and there, the two lovers promised to think of each other whenever they heard "their" song in the future. Alas, it appears at war's end that Christa has not upheld her end of the bargain -- in fact, she seems to have shifted her affections to another song, and another man. Somehow, a happy ending emerges from this emotional crisis. It should be noted that the Paul Verhoeven listed as director of Wie Einst Lili Marlene is not the 1990s action director of the same name. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Heimatland (Homeland) is based on Krambambuli, a novel by Maria von Ebner-Eschenbachs. Krambambuli is the name of the pet dog owned by hero Thomas Helmberg (Rudolf Frack). As Thomas pursues his romance with Helga Sonnleithner (Marianne Hold), he is thwarted at every turn by his rival for Helga's hand, Hans Bachinger (Adrian Hoven). In a parallel development, Krambambuli likewise battles for the affections of a female pooch. So important is the dog to the proceedings that the animal portraying Krambambuli--whose name, believe it or not, was Hatti von Fernstein--is given special billing. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
