In deinen Augen (L.Schmidseder) Tango a.d. Ufa-Tonfilm "Beates Flitterwoche" - Eugen Wolff mit seinem Tanz-Orch., Odeon 1940-------------------------------------Ludwig Schmidseder (b. 1904, in Passau; died 1971 in Munich) was a German composer and pianist. Several of his Schlager compositions are still popular tunes today - e.g. „Gitarren spielt auf" (Strike Up Guitars), 1934; „ Ich trink den Wein nicht gern allein" (I Prefer Not To Drink Wine Alone) or „I hab die schönen Maderln net erfunden (I Have Not Found The Pretty Girls), 1938.The young Schmidseder followed his father's wishes and trained as a banker, whilst taking piano lessons in secret. He furthered his musical education at the Munich Conservatorium, then left for South America in 1926, ending up in Rio de Janeiro. Starting out as a dishwasher, he went on to become an entertainer and play in a trio on ocean cruises. From 1930 he worked in Berlin, composing film music, creating operettas and writing more than 500 songs, some of which became much-loved hits. In 1936) he became the house composer at the old Berlin Metropol-Theatre. His operetta Die Oder Keine (That One or No One) was performed more than 600 times. Schmidseder was not Jewish, and so his music was not banned from being performed by the Nazi campaign to abolish "decandent" music. Given that many operetta composers were Jewish, and thus unable to perform their works, Schmidseder became one of the most popular German composers of light music at the time. After World War II, Schmidseder continued to compose film music and appear in films. The corpulent cook would later became famous as a TV cook and produced a book of recipes.------------------------------"Beates Flitterwoche" was the UFA film-hit of the summer/autumn 1940 in the Nazi-Germany "winning on all fronts". The main characters were played by two actors born in Vienna: Paul Richter, who in 1930/40s became one of the most popular actors in Germany, and Friedl Czepa - now completely forgotten actress.
