About A Star Fell from Heaven
Joseph Reiner, a talented music student, tries to get a contract from a film and music producer, aided by Annerl, the girl he loves, and his music school fellows. When famous screen tenor Lincoln gets suddenly indisposed he will have a chance, yet not exactly the one he expected.
Directed by Max Neufeld, A Star Fell from Heaven leans on a strong ensemble — Joseph Schmidt, Egon von Jordan, Rudolf Carl — 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 comedy titles of 1934.
