A film from the existence of the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau Foundation ( www.murnau-stiftung.de ) in Wiesbaden.

A former sailor is stranded in St. Pauli as a mood singer and partner of a nightlock boss. He falls in love with a very young woman and smiths for a future together, but the woman does not replace love and instead begins an affair with an advertising worker. (Filmdienst.de)

The film was originally planned and approved by the Propaganda Ministry as an appreciation of the German merchant Navy. It was criticized that the film did not show any "German seahinders". Großadmiral Karl Dönitz even felt the film as a "military force". It was only after the war ended, on September 9, 1945, the theatrical release took place for the first time in Berlin-West, after the Allied military control had released the film for public demonstration in the zones occupied by the western powers.

"Hearty sailor's yarn combines in the drama, which was created towards the end of World War II with sober realism and violent feelings, authentic atmosphere and a hint of resignation. The taut staged film shows Albers as an actor and singer from his best - but not in German -occupied foreign countries. Agfacolor designed. " (Lexicon of international film)
