Comedian Harmonists tells the story of a famous, German male sextet, five vocals and piano, the "Comedian Harmonists", from the day they meet first in 1927 to the day in 1934, when they become banned by the upcoming Nazis, because three of them are Jewish.

Reviews
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Bronze Telling the tale of a true sextet of German singers who just happen to start their group just before the Nazis begin taking over Germany. It shows their struggle to start and their eventual success and how it affects them and their women and wives. It certainly is a movie which ever one should see, and I will always wonder why this movie was not nominated for an oscar.
Lee-65 The story of the group "Comedian Harmonists" must take its place among the best films of the 1990's, no matter from what country. The story is told in a loving and respectful way and generates genuine interest in the characters and their music- the true brotherhood of men who love to sing. I'm sure the filmmakers forgot that until 1948 the U.S. military was segregated - and also about the American flag having only 48 stars. But, who cares? Some things from the 1930s no longer exist (especially the USS Saratoga - lost in the Bikini A-bomb tests of 1946) and are impossible to recreate; but this does not detract from the period realism of the film or the wondrous performances of the entire cast. A true 10 out of 10!
ShrewSpeaks This story entices the viewer. You follow the group's love for the song and entertainment until it erodes away under Hitler's power. Touching and as confounding as real life can be.Bravo, gentlemen, bravo.
Gecko-13 Comedian Harmonists is truly a masterpiece! It shows that many Germans suffered under Hitler and the nazi regime too! But I can't understand why this great movie is rated R in US? The German rating is 6(!)! In my opinion especially young children should watch "Comedian Harmonists" to learn more about humanity and the hard life in hard times.
