My #Stencil of #ZarahLeander.

#ZarahLeander sings "Der Wind hat mir ein Lied erzählt" in Douglas Sirk's (then Detlef Sierck) 1937 film LA HABANERA. It's an extraordinary scene & breathtaking performance. Dressed in a Latin costume, but with an über-Germanic vocal style, Zarah sings about irresolute tropical desire(!). I love a good #GenreCrosser. And Zarah's cavernous #contralto voice is utterly captivating.
