The Street Song or The Streetsweeper (German: Gassenhauer) is a 1931 German musical crime film directed by Lupu Pick and starring Ina Albrecht, Ernst Busch and Albert Hoermann.[1] The film was shot at the Grunewald Studios. It is a Berlin-set film, with sets designed by art director Robert Neppach. It premiered at the Gloria-Palast in the German capital. The film was a considerable public success and one of its songs, "Marie, Marie," by the Comedian Harmonists, became a hit record. A separate French-language version, The Four Vagabonds, was also made.
