Hallo Janine is a German revue film by Carl Boese from 1939 .

action

Janine is a revue dancer at the Moulin Bleu , which is dominated by the star Yvette. The head of the Moulin Bleu would like to give Janine a chance to show her talent in bigger roles, but Yvette doesn't want to see competition next to her. Yvette, however, goes on a major tour, in which Janine is not planned. She has other plans: Her friend Charlotte is deeply affected because her boyfriend Count René de Batier abandoned her for no reason and she now reads in the newspaper that he has become a partner in the Pamion music publisher. Janine promises to get revenge on René for Charlotte. She wants to seduce him and in the end let him sit just like René did with Charlotte.

Janine goes to the Pamion couple, where she meets a former colleague in the maid Bouboule. Bouboule makes fun of announcing Janine as marquise, and the couple invites her to dinner, at which Count René is also supposed to appear. Janine pretends to have known the count since early childhood.

Count René went out to get to know the women of Paris better. He is a stranger in the city and meets the talented but unsuccessful composer Pierre in a bar, with whom he spontaneously completes the hit I need no millions . In a champagne mood, both plan to swap roles so that Pierre can apply to Pamion as René de Batier himself. René, in turn, wants to play the composer Pierre during the time. Both swap their apartments. At the Pamion couple's celebration, Janine now meets Pierre, who pretends to be René. Janine pretends to have known each other for a long time and Pierre, who doesn't know that she is bluffing, plays the game. Janine makes him withdraw with her, but leaves angry when Pierre asserts several times that he doesn't know any Charlotte. Pierre played some pieces of his revue in the evening and Janine realizes that she could celebrate her breakthrough as a revue star with these pieces. The next day she goes to Pierre's apartment, in which René lives. Both fall in love and René hands Janine the review with the handwritten note that only Janine is allowed to play the main role.

Janine is cast in the lead role, but Yvette reacts horrified. When Janine is invited to René's, Charlotte suddenly appears and is disappointed because Janine has seduced her former boyfriend. Janine is offended and René is angry too, because he wanted to reveal his true identity to Janine on the same day. When René, supposedly Pierre, is asked by the Moulin Bleu to conduct his revue, René and Pierre swap roles again. Pierre appears in the revue theater and is promptly ensnared by Yvette, who makes him promise to become the real star instead of a second cast of the main role. Janine is now committed to the lead role as the second cast and is outraged. René, in turn, knows that he has made a mistake and hires several dozen claqueurs for the premiere evening to boo Yvette on her assignment. Everyone is just waiting for his sign to imitate him. On the night of the premiere, shortly before the start of the play, Janine appears on stage and refuses to leave. She wants to play the promised lead role and complains loudly about Yvonne's machinations. René hears her behind the stage and calls out "Hello Janine" in a low voice. The claqueurs promptly imitate him and soon the whole audience joins the audience. Behind the stage, Janine is hastily prepared as the leading actress and then shines in the revue as a dancer and singer. After the performance, René and Janine meet again in the cloakroom and fall in love.

criticism

The film service called Hallo Janine a "sympathetically entertaining revue comedy, naive and full of pathos, but quickly staged and well played."

Cinema found that the comedy “with its pathos and good dance interludes […] seems rather involuntarily shrill today, when it was a box office hit. [...] Conclusion: Lively, old German Singspiel ".
