Based on th the German stage musical and the songs from Udo Jürgen. A wonderfully feel good movie. That is what are u see, a cast who lives the play a lovely production. This movie has the heart of "let me entertain you" as goal and that is exactly what he is doing. No more no less. Wonderful.

Trivia

Several plot elements from the original musical are changed for the movie. E.g. Lisa is not about to get fired in the original musical production and was not able to attend an award show. Furthermore Maria didn't lose her memory and knew Otto already in her elderly home and didn't met him on the ship first, as in the movie.

Goofs

At several points in the movie, the position of the sun and moon are inconsistent with the ship's west-bound course from Hambourg to New York, with the sunrise appearing in front of the ship, for example.

Crazy Credits

Before the final credits you can see the words "Merci, Udo" displayed over the postcards on the wall
