Girls in dance uniforms: Modeled on American backstage musicals, this Nazi revue film tells of a dance troupe whose iron discipline is undermined by a hired singer who sows discord in the “conspiratorial” community in favor of a competitor. But against an international backdrop, love – and soldierly will – triumph.
