YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Marlene was not only a GREAT artist but also a soldier

Godried Boman seems like he had at least fourt shots of Jenever before his "speech"

Another story I heard about this evening was that Dietrich tried to stop the whole broadcast, because her opening song should have been: "I can't give you anything but love". And what do you think she heard in her dressing room.: Sarah Vaughan singin': "I can't give you anything but love". So Dietrich was pissed off and shouted: Who organised this stupid gala? That whas Willem Duys. A Dutch TV legend. He said on T.V. that Dietrich hit him. Anyway, they calmed her down with drinks......

In 1993 i saw an interview with Maria Riva (Marlene's daughter) on dutch television. She could remember a telephone coversation with her mother about this evening. Dietrich obvious was worried that her white dress looked to stiff. So Maria asked her. Dietrich answerd: I never Looked', Then Marlene said: What do you think that man called me? He called me frail, like a little female Fraile!!???. Then she said: Well, i kissed him anyway. Because if he likes female women he has to be kissed.

We regret not seeing the scandal between Willem Duys (director of Dureco-records and organizor of the Grand Gala du Disc ) and the "French"Rock and Rollstar Vince Taylor! Taylor told Duys, Duys could do do something with his arse and the Edison they wanted to give him. Vince Taylor went away to Paris leaving Duys behind in a shock.Bravo for Vince who was not impressed by Duys who tought he was god in Recordland! Dietrich was also not amused by this creature of Bomans she did not knew at all.

Sie war so elegant und doch auch fröhlich, kann man sagen komisch in dieser Situation. So erst und doch mit einem Lächeln zum richtigen Zeitpunkt

So wunderbar. Die Rede. Die Performance. Diese Lied, ihr Lied, obwohl das von Pete Seeger. Es ist ihre Lebensgeschichte in 3 Minuten. 2 Kriege, persönliche Anfeindungen für ihre Stellung im zweiten Weltkrieg.

Sie vereinte Patriotismus und Pazifismus in einer Person.

Es lebe Marlene Dietrich.

Thank goodness for Marlene & Edith Piaf for helping to keep morale high. How many of today's performers could do that?

That was perhaps in between the bits where they were licking eachother out...

Somethings amiss with Marlene. Shes all like "I sooo don't wanna be here."

Probably because she'd lost her friend and was probably kind of tipsy. Poor Marlene! *hugs to her*

It is said that Bomans and Marlene Dietrich both had some alcoholic drinks just before the recording. They were not drunk but just enough under the influence to give the whole thing a somewhat unusual atmosphere.

His introduction is painful

Marlene was special

She undersings and under acts Where Have All The Flowers Gone and gives it real intensity - its a Masterclass performance

The introduction would have been painful, the presenter had to explain to the Dutch viewers that this was a different German performer... Unfortunately, the quality of Dutch public broadcasting has not evolved from these days. The broadcasting studios and most editors and performers are housed in a little town outside of the capitals and the quality of programming is determined by who knows whom and is mostly about getting enough broadcasting time for the small interest groups who dominate.

What you say is just total nonsense because the center of Dutch TV is not in Amsterdam but in Hilversum Dutch TV is not bad or good it try to make TV fore many different taste and interest. If you don't like it don't watch. I guess you watch SBS6 brain dead commercial TV.

It's a bit silly to suppose the Dutch viewers didn't know who Marlene Dietrich was and what she stood for during the war.

The only thing Godried Bomans is saying is that German is a beautifull language, the language of Goethe and Brecht, and that we shouldn't forget that even if it's also the language of 'Arbeit macht Frei' and 'Endloschung'

I once saw a documantary about Godfried Bomans and they said he was very nervous about meeting Marlene. They also said Marlene was in a bad mood and very difficult because 2 days before this show her good friend Edith Piaf had died. She was very sad about that. She had been drinking all day and rehearsels were very difficult. She almost canceld her preformance because she didn't like the lighting.

That where Gala evenings Grand Gala Du Disc is now a shabby playback show. Today everybody cane receive the Rembrand.

In those days world stars came to the Netherlands to receive this price.

Marlene is more then just a world star. She then and now are symbol of resistance against the nazi's. And a symbol of liberation.
