  • Trivia
    Froehlich was banned from playing his trade for two years (1941-43) after allegedly slapping Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels in a fit of jealous rage. The ever-roving-eyed Goebbels had been making amorous overtures to Froehlich's then-partner, the actress Lida Baarova. In reality, whether the slap actually happened and only insults were traded is unclear. Nonetheless, the ban stuck.
