The Comedian Harmonists were one of the most beloved musical groups in 1930s Germany. Inspired by black American vocalists, Harry Frommermann (Ulrich Noethen) founded the six-person act in the late 1920s. While audiences swooned, Frommermann vied with with fellow singer Robert Biberti (Ben Becker) for the heart of shop clerk Erna (Meret Becker). When the Third Reich took power, however, anti-Semitism imperiled both the future of the romance and the group's stirring harmonies.

"Comedian Harmonists" is a big, enjoyable musical biopic of the kind Hollywood used to produce in the '50s. Conventionally structured but high on production values, this true story of a hugely popular German barbershop sextet that fell victim to anti-Semitism and the rise of Nazism in the '30s has everything going for it except an awkward title and the fact that it's in a foreign language. Pic has been a B.O. winner on home soil, but the challenge for foreign distribs will be persuading auds to patronize a subtitled item about a group few non-Teutons have heard of.

The Harmonists - But for the fact that the seductively comic musical group that is poignantly depicted in this truth-based story predated the rise of the National Socialist Party in Germany by a handful of years, these five talented melody makers and their agile pianist would have probably never existed. Thank goodness for small favors as the world was graced by the extraordinary talents of this world-renowned sextet. But the eventual rise of Hitler and his anti-semitic government not only would destroy the lives of six million Jews, but would also humiliatingly consume this film?s main subjects?and their loved ones?in a horribly sad, career-ending and life-altering, decision.

In 1934 kreeg Duitse zeskoppige zanggroep Comedian Harmonists een Auftrittsverbot van de Reichskulturkammer. 'Joods-marxistische herrie,' aldus de nazi's. De internationaal bejubelde groep had nog overwogen in de VS te blijven, tijdens een tournee eerder dat jaar, maar de deels Joodse band was vanwege hun Duitse komaf bang voor represailles in immigratie-schichtig Amerika. Geschiedenisminnende regisseur Joseph Vilsmaier (Stalingrad, Der Letzte Zug) gebruikte de originele zangpartijen van de toentertijd razend populaire boyband en liet zijn bevlogen acteurs playbacken. Terecht overladen met Duitse filmprijzen.
