In the Soviet TV series Seventeen Moments of Spring [Семнадцать мгновений весны](1973) dir: Tatyana Lioznova, the hero, a Russian agent posing as an SS officer, likes to meet his informants in a certain Berlin cinema. We see him watching The Woman of my Dreams [Die Frau meiner Träume] (1944) starring Marika Rökk and directed by her husband Georg Jacoby. It was a massive hit, but our hero is sick of watching it over and over during his meetings. He says he hates the movie. Which is ironic, because in real life Rökk and Jacoby were part of the Soviet spy network which passed on the Nazi battle plans before the decisive battle of Kursk.
