action
The pop composer Herbert Werner has to step in for a sick colleague at a quiz show on the Northwest German Radio in Hamburg. On the way to the studio, his little daughter Angelika follows him - without noticing it. The girl secretly sneaks into the orchestra. She draws attention to herself through her childlike, impulsive behavior. Unmasked in this way, she is asked to sing a song about her father in front of the microphone. She starts refreshing her heart:
Dear God, let the sun shine again
for dad, for mom and for me.
All people, big and small,
long for the sun like me ...
She received such great applause with her lecture that her picture soon appeared in a magazine. The pediatrician Mira in Austria can also read a copy of it. At the sight of the child she thinks she recognizes her own daughter, whom she lost sight of ten years ago in the turmoil of the last year of the war. Mira wants to go to Hamburg right away, but does not get a vacation at such short notice. That's why her father, Doctor Reitinger, stands in for her.
Herbert Werner denies to Reitinger that Angelika could be Mira's daughter. But after Reitinger has gathered so much material to support his claim, Herbert Werner admits that he took Angelika in as an infant and raised it like his own child. Now there is nothing left for him to do but bring the little one to her rightful mother. She revels in happiness, but Angelika painfully misses her "father" and writes to him that he should fetch her.
After Mira has discovered her daughter's plan, she travels with her to Abbazia on the Adriatic coast. But it doesn't take long for the pop composer to discover the hiding place. Little by little, Herbert and Mira get along better and better until they finally admit their love. This also fulfills Angelika's deepest wish: she now has a mom and a dad.
Production notes
When Franz Marischka was asked to propose a story about a little eleven-year-old girl who can also sing, his idea was: "Dad, mom, little daughter who wants to become a singer." The finished script then played against the background of the numerous in the turmoil of war and afterwards lost and found children.
The film was produced in the Triglav studio in Ljubljana . The outdoor shots were taken in Abbazia , Portorož and on the island of Rab . The buildings were created by Mirko Lipuzig . Cornelia Froboess sings the following songs in the film:
- The title melody mentioned above , composed by Hans Carste based on a text by Hans Fritz Beckmann,
- When the wind blows merrily, the captain calls out: Ahoy! a joint effort by Hans Bradtke and Gerhard Froboess , the father of the young leading actress,
- I marry Pappi was put in notes by Erich Langenfeld . This time Hans Bradtke contributed the text.
- Pack your swimming trunks , composed by Gerhard Froboess based on a text by Hans Bradtke.
Bojan Adamič was the musical director . The film was a great success, which, according to Franz Marischka, was mainly due to the young leading actress' unusual talent.
criticism
"The simplest laughing and touching entertainment, suspended from the successful hits of the child star Cornelia Froboess."
