 Nowadays, "Ich weiss, es wird einmal ein Wunder geschehen" and "Davon geht die Welt nicht unter" are idioms in German language.In its blend of entertainment and propaganda elements the film is paradigmatic for National Socialist cinema in much the same way as "Wunschkonzert", after "Die große Liebe" the next most popular film of the National Socialist period.While on the one hand the suspensefully presented love story, with its images of the North African desert, Paris and Rome, as well as the extravagant show numbers, constitutes an invitation to dream, yet on the other hand "Die große Liebe" urges adjustment to the realities of war at all levels.
