It stars Lisa Daniely, Hugh McDermott, and Richard Murdoch. Stanley Baker is seen in one of his early support roles. ==Plot== A French girl named Lilli Marlene, working in her uncle's café in Benghazi, Libya, turns out to be the girl that the popular German wartime song ''Lili Marleen'' had been written for before the war, so both the British and the Germans try to use her for propaganda purposes - especially as it turns out that she can sing as well. The Germans try to snatch her at one point, but don't succeed, and she performs several times for the British troops and also appears in radio broadcasts to the USA, arranged by Steve, an American war correspondent embedded with the British Eighth Army, who eventually becomes her boyfriend. However, eventually she is kidnapped by the Germans in Cairo and brought to Berlin, where she is interrogated and repeatedly told that she had been tortured and brainwashed by the British to think that she was French, while she actually is German. Once the Germans think that she has been transformed into a loyal Nazi, they set up for her to do English broadcasts for the Third Reich. Her old British friends, and especially Steve, are very disappointed in her. After the war, she reappears in London during a big reunion for members of the Eighth Army. She manages to convince Steve and a few of her other Eighth Army friends that she never betrayed the British. However, British security people come to arrest her, so Steve and another old friend, Berry, take off with her in their broadcasting van, chased by the security people. They drive to an address in London that she had been given by the German colonel in charge of her broadcasts, in case she ever came to London and was in need of help. When they arrive, she finds that the German colonel lives there. It turns out that he is actually a British intelligence officer who was working undercover in Berlin during the war. He informs them and the security people that Lilli was never a traitor, and that in all her communications, there were encoded messages to the British intelligence service back in London. Once they know the truth, Steve and Berry takes her back to the reunion, where everybody is told that Lilli never was a traitor. She sings the ''Lili Marleen'' song for all of them and afterwards she and Steve kiss. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lilli Marlene (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
