Hallmark Hall of Fame is an anthology program on American television, sponsored by Hallmark Cards, a Kansas City based greeting card company. The longest-running primetime series in the history of television, it has a historically long run, beginning during 1951 and continuing into 2013. From 1954 onward, all of its productions have been shown in color, although color television video productions were extremely rare in 1954. Many television movies have been shown on the program since its debut, though the program began with live telecasts of dramas and then changed to videotaped productions before finally changing to filmed ones.
The series has received eighty Emmy Awards, twenty-four Christopher Awards, eleven Peabody Awards, nine Golden Globes, and four Humanitas Prizes. Once a common practice in American television, it is the last remaining television program such that the title includes the name of the sponsor. Unlike other long-running TV series still on the air, it differs in that it broadcasts only occasionally and not on a weekly broadcast programming schedule. close

Marika Rekk ("The Girl of My Dreams", "This Joyful Ball Night", "Gasparone") and Fred Liver in the musical melodrama "Child of the Danube".On the waves of the blue Danube is anchored by a tow barge with a cheerful name "Marica", on it lives a blonde girl Marika (Marica Rekk) - a waitress from the local squash "Noah's Ark". The dilapidated ship belonged to her late father, and the girl cherishes a dream to save money for the restoration of the ship. One evening, on board her houseboat, she finds a stranger in her bed. An uninvited guest, George (Fred Liver), turns out to be a writer who wants to settle in these wonderful places. Marika is allowed to live on her ship for a few days. Hearing how the girl sings, seeing the cocona dances, George offers the sweet-voiced Marika to create her own open-air theater in order to restore the ship with the money received from the concerts. The success of this project begins to bear fruit, but one night during a thunderstorm from a lightning strike all the props of the theater burn. Marika is desperate. Friends rush to help the beauty, and together they create a new theater - the largest in the country. Thousands of spectators come to the premiere to hear the wonderful voice of a girl born on the waves of the Danube. Marika Rekk is an actress from whom it is impossible to take your eyes off. An exhilarating voice, beckoning glances, slightly provocative dances, risky costumes, immense coquetry, delightful legs - all this turned the head of the audience in theaters. She brought her athletic style of dance to the cinema from the stage of variety and on the set worked with the accuracy of a chronometer. Despite the fact that the peak of popularity of the actress came during the period of Nazi rule in Germany, the actress did not star in any of the fascist propaganda films. In 1977, Marika Rekk was awarded the Gold Prize of Germany for many years of work in art. During her long life, the actress starred in more than forty films. close
