Marlene Dietrich would have loved this musical." -

They become lovers and friends for life. During World War II, Dietrich was entertaining her adoring G.I.s on battlefields, while Chevalier was in France, forced to sing in Paris to Nazi soldiers. As the war ended, Dietrich was hailed as a hero, while Chevalier was accused of treason and on trial for his life.
