Hab das meinem Großvater gezeigt, und er hat angefangen zu weinen. Er war noch ein kleiner junge im zweiten Weltkrieg und kann sich immer noch so gut an diese lieder erinnern.🥺
supremescults: I bet your granddad had painful memories of this time, so it all came again to his mind again. This generation suffered a lot. And it never healed...
@@ek7593 @E K That's quite unique: So called "Counterspeech" in english. Usually german internet activists post them in german, but apparently they get support from elsewhere.
@@Markus-Domanski: There is no counterspeech here. I left Germany decades ago to a happy country, and I am probably old enough to be your Granny. So, please stick to Marika Roeck, if you have nothing nice to say.
@@ek7593 To be fair, not every posting that fits into a certain frame was written by an activist, and of course my gut feeling isn't always right either. In that case I can only apologize. Have a nice day.
I knew people who may well have been in that audience...astounding entertainment excellence as nazi politics rotted the present, doomed the future...thank you for this winsome post
I am blown awy. The production values, choreography, set design, equal to if not better than anything 1930s Hollywood had to offer! Being that this was made not too long before the outbreak of war, I'm grateful than not one drop of Nazi propaganda was anywhere to be seen. As a side note, I think of the immense labor of those unseen and uncredited, such as seamstresses, carpenters and the like that went into the production of such extravaganzas. How little they must have gained, other than to be able to say, I was a part of this.
30's Hollywood would not tolerate the sloppiness of the background dancers while the lead actress was singing the intro or performing an otherwise excellent ballet, in a major release. It was actually distracting and not in the good way. But I agree about the rest. The individual dancing, singing, sets and music were quite exquisite and state of the art. As for the background workers, they were actually in a great position and well rewarded. The way Goebels ran the nazi film industry those background people were taken care of as long as they delivered. And once the war started many, many of them got exceptions from military service and priority rations as workers in a vital war effort industry. Well, for awhile at least.
@@wambutu7679If you find the background dancers distracting at times, it’s probably because you are used to the ADHD garbage produced by everyone nowadays. Nothing but the best direction here.
this shows that even though this was from Nazi Germany, film producers wanted to show the world that not everything about their country was about Nazism
Now you know where the Muppets theme song comes from, an old German b/w musical from 1939 called Hallo Janine. The role of Janine was played by Marika Rökk born in 1913 in Cairo, Egypt, the daughter of Hungarian architect and contractor Eduard Rökk and his wife Maria Karoline Charlotte. She made her first two films in England in 1930 “Why Sailors Leave Home” & “Kiss Me Sergeant”. Her first German film: Leichte Kavallerie in 1935 (Light Cavalry) made her a Star overnight. She married German Film Director Georg Jacoby and her 2nd German film was Der Bettelstudent (The Beggar Student) in 1936, directed by him. Rökk also starred in the first German colour film in 1941 Frauen sind doch bessere Diplomaten (Women are better diplomats) also directed by then husband Georg Jacoby. She also made two films in her native Hungary. She died in Austria in 2004 from heart failure. During World War II the allies nick named her “The Nazi Ginger Rogers.”
@@VinnieBoombatz374 You are right the Nazis hated jazz & banned it in the late 1930's but the music from this 1939 musical is more in the style of the music that featured in a Busby Berkeley extravaganza rather than hard-core jazz
@@paulwilliams6159 Ok, that makes sense. I'm a little familiar with the music of this era, and I thought this sounded more early '30s or late '20s than 1939. So what's really going on here is the Nazis were behind the times...they didn't like the new stuff. I'm not sure I would classify swing as "hardcore" jazz any more than the earlier stuff, and there's probably a school of thought (on both sides of the Atlantic) that the jazz sound of the late '30s and '40s was some kind of bastardization of the original stuff. Like how some people view present day rap music as a bastardization of the original stuff...myself included.
@@paulwilliams6159 Many of the Nazi fat acts went after their own rules. So they didn't care about law in any way. Best example are "The Comedian Harmonists" (3 out of 6 Jewish) where many high ranked Nazis asked to make an exception just for them. At least the artists themselves weren't keen to work like this
Ich bin Jahrgang 66, und habe die Marika als Kind so geliebt. Im Fernsehen liefen immer die alten Filme, und ich war so begeistert davon. Ich hatte schon immer eine Liebe für die Schauspieler von den alten Zeiten, und bis heute liebe ich die noch alle ganz genauso.
Германский стандарт не имеет отношение к женской красоте и мастерство исполнения. Любая нация мира во все века, всегда ценила красоту женщин и их профессионализм.@@ndnaumoff3609
Этому шедевру очень много лет! И он вызывает восхищение у людей из разных стран! Искусство всегда вне политики. Пусть всех нас объединяет то, что мы видим и любим красоту! Восхищаемся прекрасным исполнением!!! Красота спасет этот мир! Желаю всем мира, благополучия и добра!!! С Новым Годом и будьте любимы и счастливы! 🙏❤🎄🎄⛄🎇
А зачем же Вы сами политику вспоминаете? Значит - лукавите! Мир может спасти только Социализм! А Марика на порядок превосходит ВСЕХ современных, накачанных ядовитым пластиком, тупых кукол!
Ich hab' am Anzug viele Taschen Und in den Taschen ist nichts pdrin Als nur ein kleines Bild der Frau Mit der ich glücklich bin Und außerdem noch ein paar Noten Doch keine Noten von der Bank Nur Noten einer Melodie Die sing' ich stundenlang: Ich brauche keine Millionen Mir fehlt kein Pfennig zum Glück Ich brauche weiter nichts als nur Musik, Musik, Musik! Ich brauch' kein Schloss, um zu wohnen Kein Auto, funkelnd und schick Ich brauche weiter nichts als nur Musik, Musik, Musik! Doch, eine ganze Kleinigkeit Die brauch' ich noch dazu Und diese große Kleinigkeit Bist du, nur du, nur du, du du du! Ich brauche keine Millionen Mir fehlt kein Pfennig zum Glück Ich brauch nur deine Liebe und Musik, Musik, Musik! Bist du, nur du, nur du, du du du du! Ich brauche keine Millionen Mir fehlt kein Pfennig zum Glück Ich brauch nur deine Liebe und Musik, Musik, Musik! Doch, eine ganze Kleinigkeit Die brauch' ich noch dazu Und diese große Kleinigkeit Bist du, nur du, nur du, duuuu! Ich brauche keine Millionen Mir fehlt kein Pfennig zum Glück Nana nana na nana... Ich brauche keine Millionen Mir fehlt kein Pfennig zum Glück Und dich dazuuuuu
Yah, diss iss dahnka for mee. Mir fehlt kein Pfennig zum Glück Glück Nana nana na nana. Große Kleinigkeit du, nur du, nur du. Oh, pass meedah biggschtine Yay !!
Well, not exactly. The Nazis wanted to keep on par with US entertainment of the time, which is why it's all so exaggerated and cheesy, but actually just mediocre. Marika fits well in.
И балерина ,и чечетку отбивает , гимнастка ,и певица ,и актриса, даже не знаю кто бы мог сравниться с ней тогда сейчас в мире….Изумительно,неподражаемо.
Das waren noch echte Superstars die singen, tanzen, steppen und schauspielern konnten ! Heutzutage bist Du ein Superstar wenn Du halbwegs gerade auf der Bühne stehen kannst .
1:01 The notes on "Ich brauche keine millionen" plays similarly with the first few notes of Franck Pourcel's "The Muppet Show Theme". I like listening to this song and Marika is beautiful.
Super Marika Röck. Ich habe es geliebt. Habe in denn 70. Bei meiner Oma gesehen. Im fernsehen und das war schwarz weiß. Sie hatte sogar eine Autogrammkarte von ihr. Ich schaue heute noch alte UFA Filme. Die sind einfach Kult.
I met two years ago a young lady in Portland whose name was Marika. I asked her if she knew Marika Rökk--she did. her parents named her after her and she was very proud to bear that name. Marika Rökk, what a beautiful woman, great singer, great human being.
@Vogelweyhde, I used to live outside Portland, Oregon and there was a restaurant by the name Marika's but that was 20 years ago. Don't know if the restaurant still is there.
@@snarky.conservative9182: She did. I remember a (West)-German TV commercial in the 70ies where she claimed to use the "faboulous Hormocenta Cream" for her ever young face. I laughed a lot as teenager... Still, she danced, sang and performed brilliantly till she was in a high age. With the very same (native) Hungarian temperament, discipline and joy as in her youth... A real star, no fake :)
I wish the director didn't make her have a huge smile all the time. I know that's how these numbers were done back then, but her smile is often not convincing and even a bit painful.
this is very second-rate for the period. you should watch some Hollywood musicals, except "the work" won't show, at least the effort won't. it's true, they make it look harder than it is.
THE GREAT YEARS OF THE EUROPEAN FILM STUDIOS! Impossible today to make a film that way with such a heavy technical way in 35 millimeters! BRAVO! And Merci Beaucoup for this amazing rendering! BRAVO! Emmanuel
Vielen Dank. Die Kleider und Kostüme waren doch wunderschön und die Tänzerinnen und Tänzer, haben wahrhaftig wie Elfen, getanzt. Marika Röck tanzte wie eine Feder und sang gleichzeitig ihr Lied; Schade das gibt es alles nicht mehr in dieser künstlerischen Art
WOW! This is MY kind of movie. Fantastic picture quality, great singing and dancing. I am not a fan of ballet, but having enjoyed the tap-dancing, I watched the performance right to the end, and am glad I did. "I do not need millions", just a rattling good movie with tip-top music. Thank you, atqui... thank you!
Ballet in films like this was more about getting some lovely girls and showing some legs. A lot of ballet everywhere was, but especially in films of this "follies style."
Ja die haben schon was auf die Beine gebracht. Lenkte die Menschen mal ab von dem Elend Und wenn die Vorstellung zu Ende war sind sie über zerstörte Häuser gelaufen
I wish I understood German. Yes, I used Google Translate, but that's why music is universal. We learn about others' history through their food and in song, even if it seems bad. Thank you, Marika Rökk (interesting name for a 1930s singer) for this. Ich wünschte, ich würde Deutsch verstehen. Ja, ich habe Google Translate verwendet, aber deshalb ist Musik universell. Wir lernen über die Geschichte von anderen durch ihr Essen und im Lied, auch wenn es schlecht scheint. Danke, Marika Rökk (interessanter Name für einen Sänger aus den 1930ern) dafür.
Дочку на художественную гимнастику или в фигурку, или в худ. студию, или в музыкалку. И вот если после этого вы покажете ей это видео и заикнетесь о высоком искусстве здесь (вами использован глагол стремиться - это значит двигаться вверх, в высоту, к высокому), то ваша маленькая дочь покрутит пальцем у виска, и скажет вам, что вы БУМЕР. После прихода нацистов к власти из Германии ушла культура. Уехали артисты, писатели, художники, ученые. То, что здесь представлено - это апофеоз бюргерства и пошлости в тех максимально допустимых рамках, которые тогда в 39-ом, были возможны.
A young man I'm very much in love with Because he is charming and nice Told me the other day that he Would like to have me as his wife But because unfortunately he is very poor, He did not dare to ask. As an answer I just told him this: I don't need no millions There's not one penny missing for my happiness I don't need nothing else But just music, music, music I don't need a castle to live in No car, sparkling and fancy I don't need nothing else But just music, music, music But there's one little thing That I still need And this big little thing Is you, only you, it's you, you, you - oh! I don't need no millions There's not one penny missing for my happiness I just need your love And music, music, music.
She sings: I don't need millions (of money) don't need a penny for luck, the only thing I need is music, music, music. Don't need a castle to live in, no car- sparkling and chic, the only thing I need is music, music, music But I still need a little something, and this is you, you, you .....
The English text is: It's time to play the music It's time to light the lights It's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight It's time to put on make up It's time to dress up right It's time to raise the curtain on the Muppet Show tonight Why do we always come here I guess we'll never know It's like a kind of torture To have to watch the show But now let's get things started Why don't you get things started It's time to get things started On the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, muppetational This is what we call the Muppet Show
It's sad to think that this young happy health people had no idea what was about to befall them and how much they must have reminist about those days before the war.
Beautiful music, lyrics, staging, sets, costumes, choreography...a superb production number. The beauty within man's soul cannot be diminished even by the most evil of hearts.
I don't understand why people always have to talk about Hitler and Nazis while listening to something like this. The people who did these shows wanted to entertain. They wanted to make people happy. To have fun. They had nothing to do with Hitler or wished they hadn't. Lots of people living under Hitler weren't Nazis. They were afraid. If you would live in this time and later you would live in a country where you didn't know if you would be the next going to Auschwitz, how would you act? It's just today we can't understand their feelings without knowing the things they knew.
Well, we may be about to see just how afraid people get here.... we're already seeing some of that now. Hopefully, our bravery stands up to the tyrants dangling "who's next" and "what's next" over people's heads now....
The vast majority did support the regime, only passively though. The vast majority also didn't know about the final solution, in which case they would have spoken out against it. the Reich actually improved the lives of the majority believe it or not, at least before the war.
I have come to really despise those German leftist who never said a word against communist dictators such as Stalin, Mao, Ceaucescu, Mengistu, or Pol Pot but present themselves as anti-NSDAP "heroes" - more than 70 years after the end of the war and without the slightest danger of becoming persecuted. A laughing stock!
@conradium: You are either an ignorant of fairly recent history or you are a slanderer, a defamer, a vilifier - you name it. I don't know what is more despicable. Here is a quote from (the rather leftwing!) WIKI for you and your ideological comrades, if any : "Federal elections were held in Germany on 6 November 1932. They saw a four percent drop in votes for the Nazi Party and slight increases for the Communists and the national conservative DNVP. It was the last free and fair all-German election before the Nazi seizure of power on 30 January 1933, as the following elections of March 1933 were already accompanied by massive suppression, especially against Communist and Social Democratic politicians. The next free election was not held until August 1949 in West Germany; the next free all-German elections took place in December 1990 after reunification. The results of the November 1932 election were a great disappointment for the Nazis. Although they emerged once more as the largest party by far, they had fewer seats than before, and failed to form a government coalition in the Reichstag parliament. So far Chancellor Franz von Papen, a former member of the Catholic Centre Party, had governed without parliamentary support relying on legislative decrees promulgated by Reich President Paul von Hindenburg according to Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution. However, on 12 September 1932 Papen had to ask Hindenburg to dissolve the parliament in order to preempt a motion of no confidence tabled by the Communist Party, which was expected to pass (since the Nazis were expected to vote in favour, as they also desired new elections). Thus, the election of November 1932 was held following this dissolution of parliament in September. The DNVP, which had backed Papen, gained 15 seats as a result." ---- As to the non-existance from the outset until its fall in 1989 of free and general elections in the outright undemocratic dictatorship the communists had established in Eastern Germany: There is a striking resemblance or rather identity not only inasmuch that there were no other parties any longer but only the SED. So, blatant ignoramus comrade conradium, do your homework and come back again afterwards.
