FROM A CONTEMPORARY NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW:

Das Lied ist Aus (The Song Is Ended) is a typical early-talkie German musical in every respect, save one: The story, concerning the lives and loves of show folk, ends unhappily -- and surprisingly so. The doleful denouement didn't seem to have much effect on the film's box-office appeal, since Das Lied ist Aus proved a major moneymaker. Perhaps this was due to the stellar line-up of Willy Forst, Liane Haid and Ernesto Verberes, three of Germany's most popular screen personalities. One suspects that the lilting melodies of Robert Stoltz (of Two Hearts in Three-Quarter Time fame) were also instrumental to the film's success.

DVD-R IS IN GERMAN WITH SWITCHABLE ENGLISH SUBTITLES . LENGTH OF FEATURE FILM: 94 mins.

PLEASE NOTE THAT SWITCHABLE (SOFT) SUBTITLES WILL NOT SHOW UP WHEN VIEWING THE SAMPLE BELOW. IF YOU SEE SUBTITLES, THEN THEY ARE HARD-ENCODED (meaning, they cannot be turned off when viewing the film):

Sometimes love comes so close you can hear it, but THE SONMG IS ENDED., 4/20/2019 11:34 AM
