content
Renate Winkelmann, the daughter of a wealthy stocking manufacturer, is supposed to marry the offspring of another stocking manufacturer known to the family according to the father's wishes. Renate, however, loves the penniless singer Peter, with whom she wants to make it big as a duo. Winkelmann announces that he will not accept Peter as a son-in-law until he has 500 fan letters. In the radio, however, Renate and Peter are rejected after the audition. How they fared the Schlager composer Paul. All three meet at reception, where receptionist Hannes complains about his suffering. While he used to work as a radio operator , he now has to get coffee. He decides to finally give his boss his opinion and is then fired. In the bar next door, the four decide to reactivate Hannes' old radio equipment and start a black transmitter.
The three men go to the village near Füssen, where Hannes was stationed as a soldier, and find the radio in the attic of farmer Schwandtner's. You begin as “Sender X” with the program transmission. Renate joins them and the yodelling farmer's daughter Kati and the zither- playing Mrs. Schwandtner soon add to the hit songs. The program was a success and the station soon became “Liebessender X”, as all broadcasts were tagged with the instruction not to buy any more Winkelmann stockings before Renate and Peter agreed to marry.
The village becomes a meeting point for big and small stars of the entertainment industry, 10-year-old Conny Froboess sings with the musicians and Michael Jary's orchestra suddenly arrives in the village on a truck. However, the driver is a camouflaged reporter for Quick and secretly photographs the artists. His snapshots generate further interest in the station and the singers, but also help the police in their search. The now seals off entire districts in order to find out about the operators of the illegal channel. Among other things, they dress up and take part in the parade through Rothenburg to avoid police barriers. Above all, Mr. Winkelmann is looking for his daughter and finds her when the troops are about to board a tug to Hamburg. He goes to Hamburg with Renate. The remaining artists travel to Hamburg disguised as sailors, where they are caught by the water police shortly before docking. On land, however, they are not arrested as expected, but received enthusiastically: Quick has paid the bail for all members of the station and is also ready to finance the defense in a possible trial against Peter, Paul and Hannes. All employees of the station have also been awarded an hour a week in the current radio program and Mr. Winkelmann accepts Peter and Renate's love for each other, as Peter has two washing baskets with fan mail.
production
The shooting for the Big Star Parade took place from April 9th to May 28th 1954 in Schwangau , Rothenburg ob der Tauber , Füssen , Munich and Hamburg as well as in the CCC studios in Berlin-Spandau . The film premiered on September 3, 1954, and ran in Austria under the title Grosse Star-Parade .
The big star parade appeared in Gloria-Verleih, whose owner and founder was Ilse Kubaschewski. She had become aware of the hit film genre because the light entertainment program was to be expanded further in her distribution. Music had already been important in the homeland films previously released by Gloria, so the hit film genre offered itself as an extension of the film spectrum. The Big Star Parade was the first hit film by Gloria and went so well that it ushered in the second wave of success for the Gloria distribution after the Heimatfilms, that of the music films.
Big Star Parade includes cameo performances by Rudolf Prack , Winnie Markus and Hannelore Bollmann, among others , as well as larger performances by Conny Froboess , Bully Buhlan and Michael Jary and orchestra.
