Die Varieté-Tänzerinnen aus der Schule von Jenny Hill sind die besten und am meisten gefragten ihrer Zunft. Eiserne Disziplin hat der Schule ihren Ruf eingebracht. Damit auf den zahlreichen Reisen keines der Mädchen aus der Reihe tanzt, setzt Jenny Hill eine besonders zuverlässige Schülerin als "Captain" der Truppe ein. Norma heißt sie, und sie hat Autorität und Einfühlungsvermögen gleichermaßen.

The vaudeville dancers from Jenny Hill’s school are the best and the most sought after.  The school’s excellent reputation is due to the iron discipline there.  So that none of the girls dance out of line during their numerous trips, Jenny Hill places a particularly reliable student into the “Captain” spot for the troupe.  Her name is Norma and she has both authority and empathy.

Even by the standards of Nazi-era films, this one seems kind of dark and creepy for a musical. Why does one of the Girls get sick and die? Did Goebbles and co. see some kind of propaganda value in that?
