    • Trivia
      New York actually plays an important part of Udo Jürgens' life, as he spent several years of his youth in the 50s in New York where he started composing and was also a jazz pianist. There he worked on songs for Shirley Bassey (Reach for the stars) and Frank Sinatra (If I Never Sing Another Song). Also in 1999 he married his girlfriend Corinna Reinhold in New York. The two were divorced in 2006.
    • Goofs
      At several points in the movie, the position of the sun and moon are inconsistent with the ship's west-bound course from Hambourg to New York, with the sunrise appearing in front of the ship, for example.
    • Crazy credits
      Before the final credits you can see the words "Merci, Udo" displayed over the postcards on the wall

    Bunt
    Hat was, wenn auch schrill und musikalisch den Originalsongs nicht ganz gerecht werdend. Funktioniert wohl auf der Bühne besser als auf der Leinwand, auch wenn die Schauspieler sich voll reinlegen.
