Faded melodrama that balances commentary with a compelling story. While character interactions are the key to the film and its mix of intrigue and romance, what makes the film succeed is that we come to feel these people's troubles as the global becomes personal.

Lili Marleen estreava há 40 anos na Alemanha Ocidental. Vocês tem ideia que nos anos 90 passava Fassbinder na TV aberta? Foi numa madrugada da Globo que vi esse filme pela primeira vez e confesso que não lembrava nada dele. Mesmo sendo estranho ver o Fassbinder como pau mandado de produtor numa produção evidentemente comercial, ainda é um belo filme que merece respeito dentro de sua carreira. Coleção Folha/Versátil Cine Europeu.

Pretty unremarkable and forgettable piece in Fassbinder's oeuvre. Maybe if you're really into him and Hanna Schygulla, there's some stuff that makes you think of Berlin Alexanderplatz as well and it's got Udo Kier.

Love and politics in WWII, lit in saturated colors, bold, flamboyantly decadent, features the awesome Giancarlo Giannini, one of the best of Fassbinder's post-Alexanderplatz works.

I really loved the ''Berlin Alexanderplatz'' part in the film. And I wish Marlene Dietrich sang the song!

Schygulla's performance really got on my nerves; she plays Willie like she's some kind of brainless idiot, and her voice put my teeth on edge. Fassbinder's weird, confusing editing rhythm combined with the schlocky dubbing made this an off-putting experience for me. Sometimes it felt like reading a poem written by someone who doesn't speak English very well. There's also too much of a "things we know now" aspect to the way characters see the Evil Nazis Who Must Be Stopped. This movie annoyed me.
