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

Narrated by actress Katharine Cornell and filmed in black and white, it spends the first 24 minutes introducing viewers, through newsreels, interviews, and old photographs, to the story of the deaf and blind disabled-rights pioneer. News footage shows her international appearances and visits with heads of state, including President Eisenhower allowing her to feel his face. The second half takes a day-in-the-(exceptional)-life approach to Keller's existence circa 1955. Made just 13 years before her death, Keller's famed tutor-translator-friend Anne Sullivan had already died, leaving her live-in replacement, Polly Thomson, to share the film's focus. From the time Keller takes her morning walk along the 1,000-foot handrail around her yard through her workday to her nightly reading of her Braille Bible, her serene acceptance of her life will amaze and inspire. close

Person to Person is a popular television program in the United States that originally ran from 1953 to 1961. Edward R. Murrow hosted it until 1959, interviewing celebrities in their homes from a comfortable chair in his New York studio. In the last two years of its original run, the host was Charles Collingwood.
Although Murrow is best remembered as a reporter on programs such as Hear It Now and See It Now and for publicly confronting Senator Joseph McCarthy, on Person to Person he was a pioneer of the celebrity interview.
The program was well planned but not strictly scripted, with as many as six cameras and TV lighting installed to cover the guest's moves through his home, and a microwave link to transmit the signals back to the network. The guests wore wireless microphones to pick up their voices as they moved around the home or its grounds. The interviews were done live. The two 15-minute interviews in each program were typically with very different types of people, such as a movie star and a scientist. Guests often used the appearance to promote their latest project or book. close
