Short description
The story of a close-knit group of young kids in Nazi Germany who listen to banned swing music from the US. Soon dancing and fun leads to more difficult choices as the Nazi's begin tightening the grip on Germany. Each member of the group is forced to face some tough choices about right, wrong, and survival.
What's left behind the scenes
- Kenneth Branagh plays a significant role in the film, but is not credited. It is claimed that Branagh himself requested that his name be removed from the credits, fearing it would be listed above the names of Robert Sean Leonard, Christian Bale, and others whom he considered the real stars.
- Kenneth Branagh's character plays a significant role in the plot's development, but the actor's name is not listed in the credits. It is claimed that Branagh insisted on this – suspecting that his name would be featured more prominently than those of Robert Sean Leonard (who played Peter), Christian Bale (who played Thomas), and others whom Branagh considers true stars.
- In preparation for his role in this film, Christian Bale read a book about Nazism.
