"Stern von Rio" was the final movie starring Austrian dancer and actress La Jana (1905-40) who died of pneumonia before the movie's release.... La Jana was a stunning exotic beauty who returned to movies in 1937 and until her death starred in a handful of very succesful pictures.... More information on her life can be found here :

La Jana's untimely death and the movie's exotic settings contributed to the tremendous succes of "Stern von Rio".... The tango "Stern von Rio" - composed by Willy Engel-Berger and Kurt Feltz - was equally succesful and many recorded versions exist.

The song will be presented in several versions. The first video fatures Will Glahé and his musette orchestra with a rather good instrumental effort - in my opinion....

The video features the French movie poster of "Stern von Rio" as well as pictures of La Jana , all from personal collection. A sequence featuring La Jana in "Es leuchten die Sterne" (1938) is also included.

Despite "Stern von Rio" being a very popular movie which was remade in the 1950s - the movie is not available od dvd....
