Katja Junge plays the title role in this West German romantic drama, directed by noted cinematographer Thomas Mauch. Maria is just as girl who can't say "Nein," thus she goes through several lovers before the plot proper gets underway. When Maria finally falls in love for real, it is with repressed astronomer Robert Duessler. Afraid to make physical contact, Duessler prefers to gaze at Maria from a distance through his telescope. Not surprisingly, the film's title translates to Mary of the Stars.
Story concerns two friends, Freya and Irmtraut and their relationships with the same man, Traugott, who finds it impossible to choose between the two women.
Andrés Pulac, un joven pianista, se niega a interpretar un concierto en honor de una alto dirigente soviético, como muestra de rebeldía ante la invasión Hungría (1956). Su negativa, aunque él no lo sabe, perjudica a los organizadores de una manifestación contra la crueldad comunista, pues se había escogido su concierto como consigna. Cuando Pulac se entera, acepta dar el concierto. Andrés y María Kondor, la hija de un periodista comunista, están enamorados y deciden casarse antes del concierto. Mientras tanto, la represión comunista en las calles provoca la ira del pueblo húngaro y da lugar a una auténtica revolución.
Across German screens at the outbreak of WWII streaks "DIII88: The New German Air Force Attacks", an aeronautic and maritime spectacle glorifying Hermann Goring's Luftwaffe and the spirit of the newly arisen Germany. Once war became imminent, Joseph Goebbels instructed the German film industry to initiate production of numerous militaristic projects, but DIII88 was initiated by the Propaganda Minister's rival, Goring, who commissioned several aviation pictures. DIII88 is not a war picture per se, because it takes place in peacetime, but the young, fresh-faced air aces enthusiastically look forward to the coming war. The propaganda is blatant: The only thing that matters is dedication to duty and unconditional commitment to the Fatherland.
