Lilli Marlene (1950). Haven't seen the movie but it's a good poster.

It takes its title from the popular Second World War era song Lili Marlene (also known as Lily of the Lamplight). It was a German song but it became popular with Allied troops as well. Marlene Dietrich, Dame Vera Lynn and Arthur Lowe (!), among many others, recorded versions of it and it features in several episodes of the 1970's series Secret Army.
