Schlagerparade 1960 is a German hit film by Franz Marischka from 1960 .

Production notes

By 1960 it became increasingly clear that cinema was suffering from competition from television. At a crisis meeting, Franz Marischka suggested presenting his record favorites to the predominantly young audience, which you could hear everywhere, but never see. The idea was welcomed by a producer. The requirement that it had to be a cheap production was not a problem, since the German record industry was, as it were, chasing the film.

In order to also incorporate an international hit title, which was much more difficult financially with American hits, Marischka looked for a well-known title to which the rights were free. He found the gospel When the Saints Go Marching In , rewrote it and wrote a corresponding scene for Hazy Osterwald . The text "What should I do, I'll kill myself ..." was originally intended only as a sample, but Osterwald adopted it unchanged and even registered Marischka as an author at GEMA .

The following appear exclusively as singers or musicians in the film: Gitte Hænning , Bill Ramsey , Billy Mo , Laurie London , Ted Herold , Jimmy Makulis , Dany Mann , Angèle Durand , Detlef Engel , Vera Fischer , Claus Herwig , Camillo Felgen , the Nilsen Brothers , Max Greger , Fredy Brock , Rainer Bertram , Heidi Brühl , Wyn Hoop , Gitta Lind , Rudi Palme , Billy Sanders , Tony Sandler , Gerd Ströhl , Gerhard Wendland and Ingrid Werner . Most of the nearly thirty hits were only played. No song could be seen or heard with all verses. In this way, the audience should feel the need for "more".

The world premiere took place on April 5, 1960 in the Gloria-Palast Stuttgart. At the premiere, the audience jumped up at the individual hits and clapped along with the rhythm. Schlagerparade 1960 was an extraordinary box office success.

Reviews

The film service saw a clear advertising intention of the production and judged: "A slap act holds the turbulent nonsense together".
