German postcard by Ross Verlag, no. 141/1. Photo: Ufa. Hans Albers and Lilian Harvey in Quick (Robert Siodmak, 1932).
Jovial, pleasantly plump Hans Albers (1891–1960) was a superstar of German cinema between 1930 and 1945. He was also one of the most popular German singers of the twentieth century. His song 'Auf der Reeperbahn nachts um halb eins' (On the Reeperbahn at half past midnight) is the unofficial anthem of Hamburg’s neighborhood of St. Pauli, famous for its brothels, music, and nightclubs.
British-born, German actress, and singer Lilian Harvey (1906-1968) was Ufa's biggest star of the 1930s. With Willy Fritsch, she formed the 'Dream Team of the European Cinema'. Their best film was the immensely popular film operetta Der Kongress tanzt/The Congress Dances (Erik Charell, 1931).
