Set in 1900 Berlin, Die Goettliche Jette (The Divine Jette) stars Grethe Welser as the title character. A singer in a ragtag touring theatrical troupe, Jette attracts the attentions of wealthy Count Opalia (Kurt Meisel), who has several influential show-business friends. Feigning love for the Count, Jette manages to wangle an audition, and before long she is Berlin's most popular musical-comedy artiste, more famous for her dazzling legs than her singing skills. Unfortunately, she runs afoul of a group of blue-nosed "reformers," and is banned from ever performing again. Disconsolately, Jette agrees to marry Opalla and live the life of a countess. But when the Berlin theatergoers demand her return to the stage, Jette is brought back in triumph, obliging the Count to nobly step aside so that the heroine can enjoy a lasting romance with her true love Fritz (Viktor de Kowa). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
