When the trailer is better than the film

The Night Porter (1974) – Liliana Cavani

The trailer features the bunker-cabaret scene with Greta Keller’s ‘Wenn ich mir was wünschen dürfte’ [Youtube] played in the background and Charlotte Rampling in a strange striptease. It’s the most memorable scene of the film. Greta Keller’s song is one of soothing melancholy.

Update: SensOtheque elaborates.

    Both Greta Keller and Marlene Dietrich sand the song beautifully… However, the version in the film is somewhat adapted, and (Ibelieve) was actually sung by Charlotte Rampling herself. What a talented lady!

    Thanks Paul! and welcome to Jahsonic
