Quotes
Marius Goring - On-Screen Narrator: When the fighting men come home, they bring with them trophies and souvenirs of the war, the Second World War. But There's one trophy that you will only find in the homes of the Eighth Army - the disc of a German song: Lili Marlene.

Crazy credits
In this reconstruction of the story of LILI MARLENE we have had the collaboration of a great number of people, particularly Eighth Army men, London dockworkers, radio experts and refugees from Fascism. Some have brought us information, others re-enacted scenes from the past, others again appear in the picture as themselves.
