This film contains many Busby Berkeley-style cabaret scenes like the start where Marika Rökk, dressed in a black satin minidress trimmed with red feathers, walks slowly forward singing: “In der Nacht ist der Mensch nicht gern allein” (“No one wants to be alone at night”). A close up then frames her face as she flutters her eyebrows provocatively. The final scene of Die Frau meiner Träume was also clearly inspired by contemporary American choreography. The fairytale wedding that takes place between Rökk and her partner Lukschy pictures them twirling round and round, all dressed in white, in a huge salon crowded with girls and gigantic harps. This is the most typical of the “Rökk-Films” in which elaborate musical numbers give the actress continuous opportunities to display her athletic and lyrical prowess.
