Die Beine von Dolores (1957)
18 Nov 1957 • Comedy, Musical • 1h 45m
I saw this film in Frankfurt (then West Germany)in the late winter of 1957-58. It was my first German film, and somewhat of a shocker to one accustomed to American films. I could understand little of the dialog (the title means "Dolores' Legs"), but it was funny, the characters were attractive (especially Dolores). The scene which remains most vivid in my memory is a song, "Wo scheint die Sonne so hell wie Alabama?" ("Where does the sun shine as bright as in Alabama") Talk about your artistic license! It's a cowboy scene right out of southern Arizona, saguaro cacti and all, but in Alabama! I have learned a great deal more German since '57, and would REALLY like to see this film again. You'd like it, too! It's a hoot! -- John W. Hall
