About … und wenn’s nur einer wär’ …
The young actress Bettina has angered the director of a West Berlin camp for troubled youth with a song that celebrates the adventurous lives of these "wayward youths." Hein Denecke invites her to get to know the real lives of these young people.
Directed by Wolfgang Schleif, … und wenn’s nur einer wär’ … leans on a strong ensemble — Edelweiß Malchin, Siegfried Dornbusch, Walter Bechmann — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1949.
