The second of director Julien Duvivier's sound pictures, Hier Spricht Berlin was also released as Allo Berlin? Ici Paris! Two male telephone operators from Berlin fall in love with two female receptionists in Paris, even though they've never met. After carrying on a "courtship by wire" for several months, the two heroes and the two heroines vow to meet each other face-to-face. Alas, some unexpected obstacle always seems to pop up to keep the boys and girls apart -- until the very, very end. This bilingual romantic comedy boasts an impressive continental cast, headed by Karel Stepanek. Wolfgang Klein, Josette Day and Germain Aussey (Stepanek, like director Duvivier, would later spend several years in Hollywood).
