The Eighth Army famously adopted a German song in the Western Desert. The Crown Film Unit traces the journey of Lili Marlene from its composition in post-WW1 Hamburg, via Radio Belgrade and the Afrika Korps, through victory in Tunisia and Sicily, to an imagined post-war East End, full of light, music and bananas for sale.

The True Story of Lili Marlene Audience Reviews

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
