 <\/p>\n

Here is a very catchy tune from the 1937 German film Der Unwiderstehliche<\/em><\/a> (The Irresistible Man<\/em>), which starred Hans S\u00f6hnker<\/a>, who also performs the vocal on this recording.\u00a0 The song’s title translates to “Who Does A Woman Make Herself Beautiful For?”<\/p>\n

Hans S\u00f6hnker was a well-known actor who appeared in over 100 films between 1933 and 1980.\u00a0 During World War II, S\u00f6hnker lived a double life, obediently appearing in propaganda films while, at the same time, using his summer house to hide Jews from the authorities.\u00a0 He was one of a small group of actors and actresses who were part of a network that smuggled Jews out of Nazi German to the safety of Switzerland.\u00a0 Had he been caught, it would almost certainly have cost him his life.<\/p>\n

The Metropol-Vokalisten<\/a> was a vocal quartet that patterned itself after the Comedian Harmonists<\/a> (who, in turn, patterned themselves after imported recordings by the American harmony group The Revelers<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Robert Renard was one of many recording pseudonyms used by Otto Dobrindt’s<\/a> in-house orchestra for various record labels produced by the Carl Lindstr\u00f6m Company, <\/a>such as Odeon, Parlophon, Gloria, and others.<\/p>\n

This recording was made in the Lindstr\u00f6m recording studios in Berlin at
\n26 Schlesische Stra\u00dfe.\u00a0 The huge complex<\/a>, which included a record pressing plant, printing plant, and company offices, survived the war and is still in use by a variety of tenants.<\/p>\n
