Even though he received a classical education, Holländer
ended up writing cabaret music.
In the vibrant cabaret scene of 1920's Berlin Holländer
was an important figure, known for his skills in improvising,
composing and writing lyrics.
Marlene Dietrich insisted
on him as the pianist in 'The Blue Angel' ('Der blaue
Engel') and he ended up writing the movie's music as well.
The famous 'Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß' is just
one of the many successful songs he wrote exclusively for
the great actress.
