Heinrich Wilhelm "Heinz" Rühmann (b. in Essen 1902 -- d. in Bavaria 1994) was a front-line German film actor. His role in the 1930 movie "Die Drei von der Tankstelle" led to him immediate stardom. He remained highly popular as a comedic actor (and sometimes singer) throughout the 1930s and early 1940s. Although he never supported the Nazi regime, his career after 1933 must at least be described as opportunistic, similar to that of his friend and colleague Hans Albers. In 1944 he starred in a nostalgic comedy of mistaken identities "Die Feuerzangenbowle" which must now be called the most popular film of his career, especially as a cult movie for students at university. Rühmann's career had a tough start after the war, but by the mid-1950s the former comedian had established himself again as a star, only this time as Germany's leading character actor.
Rühmann was a favorite actor of Holocaust diarist, Anne Frank, who pasted his picture on the wall of her room in her family's hiding place during the war, where it can still be seen today. The enormous ambivalence of Rühmann's early career is illustrated by the fact that he was also a favorite actor of Adolf Hitler and his propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.

nichts gegen heinz rühmann, aber sein gesang klingt so tollpatschig und öde, dass ich mir nicht vorstellen kann, was eine frau daran verführerisch finden soll? das klingt wie das genaue gegenteil von stürmisch und leidenschaftlich.
