Renate Müller: "Liebe ist ein Geheimnis", tango

One of the most haunting and inspiring tango-melodies of 30s. Whoever sings it - it is always charming, cannot be spoiled...;-)
However, young Renate Müller makes it especially poignant:...Love is a mistery.
Her love and her private life were a mistery, too. Darling of the German film was too weak, physically and psychically, to endure all bitter experiences of her life in the Third Reich.
Her early and tragic death has never been cleared sufficiently which gave good ground for various legends.

Jurek, the history that you include with this song unfortunately reflects the fate of many great performers of this period. It is particularly tragic since she seems to have been not only very talented but also very beautiful. Beauty sometimes carries with it burdens too much to bear.

That's what I feel, too. Thank you.

A very nice version of the famous tango, in the movie "Die englische Heirat/An english Marriage" it was sung by the delightful Hilde Hildebrand in a nightclub scene, Renate Müller and Adolf Wohlbrück (Anton Wallbrook) danced to it as they heard it on the radio.

Thank you Leo...:) I saw this film some day on some "German channel".

And have recording made by H.H.; it was a sort of a problem for me to decide which one to chose; finally decided for the present one, there were more than one reason...:-)

RENATE MÜLLER 1906-1937 wunderbar.Leider starb sie viel zu früh mit nur 31 Jahren schwer krank und pschisch gebrochen.Den Nazis ,insbesondere Göbbels was sie ein Dorn im Auge.R.Müller wollte sich nicht von ihrem Geliebten trennen der Jude war.Und auch sonst stand dem Regiem nicht nahe.Damit zog sie ständige und harte Verfogungen ,Drangasalierungen auf sich,denen sie gesundheitlich und pschisch nicht standhalten konnte.R.Müller starb am 7.oktober 1937 mit nur31 Jahren in Berlin .

Moin, Moin from Texas!

If you like the Golden entertainment of the 1920s, you might like Brendan McNally's dark comic novel "Germania" (Simon & Schuster, 2009), about the Flying Magical Loerber Brothers, four somewhat magical, Jewish vaudeville entertainers and onetime child stars who were the toast of Berlin before WWII and who reunite during the surreal, three-week "Flensburg Reich" of Admiral Doenitz, Hitler's very unlucky successor.

Yes it is!

GREAT performance of quite a haunting tango-lied, as you say. Thank you VERY much for sharing this with us!!!!!

[jmccracken1963]

@Rudipolt Is this one of the movies in which Adolf Wohlbruck (better known later in the West as Anton Walbrook) was her co-star?
