This is a real curiosity; at best a reasonable film, but also a charming little gem. There is a story (in the line of "A Star is Born"), but this merely serves as an excuse, as it is more importantly a kind of moving encyclopedia of about 35 stars making their debut in a talkie (although some of them had already made one talkie), of the technical sound possibilities and of film making. Besides all that, it is entertaining and sometimes hilarious and it has fine one-liners that split my side. The film is also remarkable for making mock of typical German film genres (like the overly sweet romances involving the military), of too heavy acting and of film making in general. I have to mention this one: a short, hysterically funny parody of "Der blaue Engel". What this film in fact says is: do not take any film too seriously. (J. Steed)

A mild-mannered provincial girl's-school teacher, Iza loses her job when a neighboring country takes over her village. She heads to the big city, where she lands a job playing piano at a posh nightclub. In this capacity she catches the eye of a British colonel, who finds her work in a Parisian cabaret, where she becomes a great sensation. Rather than reward herself with the fruits of her labors, Iza sends every penny of her salary back to her village priest, who distributes the money among the poor parishioners. Ten years after being forced from her home, the now-glamorous Iza makes a return visit, magnanimously encouraging her former sweetheart to marry a girl better suited to him. It should be no surprise that leading lady Sari Fedak wrote the script for Iza Neni herself.
