The Harmonists

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

Good German film that chronicles the story and lives of the Comedian Harmonists from 1927-1934. Shows the impact of anti-Semitism on this popular, jazz-influenced singing group and German society. Though popular enough to even have some leading Nazis as fans, they did not get the real point of fascism until it was too late Well acted and well written although the first 15 minutes is unevenly paced. Its very much a traditional show business film, and not at all experimental. Still, it does look at the impact of fascism on the arts in Germany and on the failure of so many Germans, including Jews, to get the truth about the Nazis
