Yes of course it did! By brother loved it and saw it in France. I watch it but stoped at midway, not that I particulary dislike it, but I have a general antipathy for this kind of film, too popularly made also in a way " German * " ( that also is the case for films from France ect...) like " Marlene " it is just not my taste.
To like this film you have to grown with, I was just not in the state too, I stay and looking outsider.PS: The songs from the guys are wonderful BTH! More than excellent.
* You have to live in the country to feels what is wrong in your eyes with it.

I see what you are saying. That is why I kind of put it into "that kind of movies" bin - we certainly should not view it as we do La Strada.This morning the first thing I recalled about the film were again its costumes - it presents a great visual treat, those wonderfuly dressed concert going crowds! We have a friend, she teaches history of costume at Drexel, and she is madly in love with the early 20th century style - I must recommend the film to her. According to her she never wears anything younger than she is - and amazingly she never looks dated in those original period outfits! That is how you define good taste.
In terms of its costume design it reminded me to some degree My Fair Lady... not quite as much firework, but certainly the role the costumes played in both films was major.
And that was also a drawback of this one. For instance, the scenes of Nazi violence did not look right, they appeared to be shot in the My Fair Lady pavilion, with the resulting loss of realism. That would probably be my strongest criticism - too much beautification happened there.
Well Cecil Beaton was a master in his class. The Ascott scene remains un-beatonable if I may say so.
The last time at the Opera in Paris we were one of the few not wearing jeans...I felt coming fron the " Province " ( any part of France but not from the capital...)
Most of us people reminds somehow stick at a point of his youth which I may call " his own apogee " and do not renew themselves. But when you are tasty and dress on a classic way nothing can turn sour...PS: I would EVEN mind to think of " La Strada " in this context. Marlene or Lola at best!
