Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Nach dem Sturm (After the Storm) is based on a story by the prolific Carl Zuckmeyer. Shortly after VE day, Austrian girl Barbara von Trentini (Marte Harrell) falls in love with American occupation soldier Maj. Michael Sinclair (Nicholas Stuart). Their romance is fiercely opposed by both Barbara's family and Sinclair's superiors, but the lovers pay no heed to the many nay-sayers. Besides, they've already selected "their song," a popular ballad called "Somewhere, Some Time." Except for the timeliness of the film's postwar setting, Nach dem Sturm is really nothing new or innovational.
