ABOUT FILM
An epic drama detailing the relationship between the legendary Czech actress and the Nazi Minister of Propaganda opens when Lída Baarová, starring as an exotic beauty in the film Barcarole, first captures the hearts of thousands of new fans in Germany. She also enjoyed and benefitted from the fame and affection of actor Gustav Fröhlich, and nor did the Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler hide his admiration for the Czech actress. It was Joseph Goebbels, head of the film industry and Minister of Propaganda, however, who thrust Lída into the higher echelons of society, with regular invitations to magnificent parties. She was enchanted, and indeed Baarová succumbed completely to his charms – a potentially fatal attraction. She spent the war largely in her native Prague, and after liberation was charged with collaboration.

He came and asked me "to arrange a date to see the Fuhrer", which I did, and now Hitler discovered what lay behind all the rumours. Frau Goebbels wanted a divorce and to emigrate to Switzerland, causing Hitler to envisage for himself a major scandal. He decided to attempt a reconciliation of the couple and invited them both to Obersalzberg. There he received them separately. In individual conversations he explained to them that they must relegate their personal interests to those of the state. The separation was prevented. In the Berghof Gre
