Heintje - Einmal wird die Sonne wieder scheinen

I was 16 when I saw this movie and you wouldn't expect a 16 yr old male to like it but I did. In the midst of all my teenage angst, I liked the movie because Heintje was clean, simple, happy and systematic as opposed to his father's fuzziness - all the characteristics I would have liked to be instead of being rebellious, dark and moody. His music was the typical oompahpah as compared with Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin I was listening to and now I find myself watching Heintje on You Tube and wondering about the early 70s. We were only 1 year apart but we had two very different lives. My sister bought his American LP Heintje and we played it over and over. I see that Heintje is still alive and still singing as Hein Simons. I'm happy for him and I thank him for his music and golden voice. I wish him all the best,

It's a children's musical movie. Similiar style is "Sound of Music", of course, latter one was more well known and well made. :P (Interesting fact, apparently sound of music is not widely known in Austria). Except that there is no dancing and this movie is actually in German.

Plot: Teenager Heintje's mother died, father wrongly accused of financial fraud and arrested. Heintje moved in with his maternal grandpa, who was a rich/stingy man with bad temper and didn't like the marriage of Heintje's parents, and thus didn't care for Heintje. 90 minutes of comedy/singing/car-chasing later, justice served, ppl fell in love, stone cried...

I watched this when I was growing up in China when I was kid (80's). Now one of my childhood friends, who is depressed and become sentimental and nostalgic (listening to light FM now, yuck!), want me to find it for him because he think it is therapeutic. This is quite a task because we only know its chinese names. I searched chinese web site to get director's name "Han Hai-En-Lee-Chie", and guessed Heinrich ...

The reason I mention this is, I guess this movie made a kid recall it 20 years later, maybe it's actually good, or maybe that kid was a retard. :) For kid under 14, okay, maybe under 10 only.

Don't remember if I had watched the movie. But the songs in the movie bring me back for 30 years, after a friend of mine forwarded the songs to a group chat.

Like other reviewers from China, we were all lived in a 'forbidden' country ruled by communist for a time when beautiful music is so rare, like ration foods that you couldn't choose.

Heintje's movie and songs like the fresh spring air breezing into China ...

I watched the movie twice. Today, I watch it for the third time. Wow, I'm surprised to watched it again and still be interested in it. It isn't the sort of movies you will never watch again. The music in the movie < the last rose in summer > polish up the movie. All in all, It's my cup of tea.

For anyone who was around back in 1970, esp. in Germany, this movie is a real nostalgia bomb. The star is the boy singer Heintje, who was a big pop star back then, at least in Europe. I don't think he ever caught on in the U.S.

At the time it was released, it was a kids movie. Now, it is camp. I mean that in a good way. It was fun to see it after all these years, and though the full blown orchestral production of the songs Heintje sings in the movie seem odd (riding in a convertible, he opens his mouth and a full music studio sound comes out) it is just the way they did it in those movies. Think Elvis in any number of movies, you get the idea.

Also some nice views of the French Riviera back then. Cool.
