A Song Goes Round the World (German: Ein Lied geht um die Welt) is a 1958 West German musical film directed by Géza von Bolváry and starring Hans Reiser, Sabine Sesselmann, and Ruth Stephan.[1] The film is a biopic of the singer and film actor Joseph Schmidt. The title is a reference to his best-known song and a 1933 film of the same title in which he starred.

It was made at the Bavaria Studios in Munich.

Plot[]

The film tells about the rapid rise and success of a German singer, who was famous in Germany and other European countries in the early 1930s, his persecution by the Nazis, his escape through numerous countries and eventually his tragic death as an inmate of the Girenbad internment camp in Switzerland at the age of 38.
