Das Lied ist Aus (The Song Is Ended) is a typical early-talkie German musical in every respect, save one. The story, concerning the lives and loves of show folk, ends unhappily – and surprisingly so. The doleful denouement didn’t seem to have much effect on the film’s box-office appeal, since Das Lied ist Aus proved a major moneymaker.
