About Solang' die Sterne glüh'n
After their circus goes bankrupt, old clown Pipo, trick rider Cora, and little Silvio are left penniless. They can't even afford to feed the animals they have left. Reporter Conny Meister immediately senses a touching story. Dairy owner Runkelmann, on the other hand, wants to take advantage of the circus's plight and buy up the land for a factory. However, he didn't count on the commitment of the neighborhood children.
Directed by Franz Antel, Solang' die Sterne glüh'n leans on a strong ensemble — Gerhard Riedmann, Heidi Brühl, Josef Meinrad — 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 romance titles of 1958.
