Correct.

As your prize, you are invited (though need not accept) to discuss, in a new thread, the practicalities of making on a basically zero budget a movie based on the idea of the movie speculated about in the following chapter of my first novel, in the hope that Albert might join in and, provided with artwork, actually produce the movie and put it on YouTube.

When Lili (or Lilí!) is mentioned, women are shown in the accompanying image. Have I won a prize yet?

Once one notices it, it leaps out! Clearly part of the design of the video.

Yes, that is true, but please look at the people in each such image. What do those people have in common that the people featured in the other images do not?

All the images that have the name of the song included in the subtitle of the image have at least one thing in common: they have the name of the song included in the subtitle!

Clue: What feature do all those images that have the name of the song included in the subtitle of the image have in common?

Indeed, until Alfred mentioned it, I had not noticed that the shield was not in the movie sequences.

Have you spotted the answer yet?

A clue is available if needed.

Yes, true, but that is not what I noticed.

Another look?

It’s very noticeable that the Chilean Army shield is visible front and centre most of the time, only disappearing when the static images give way to short stretches of moving images.

The military march version mentioned in the previous post plays in My Mix here sometimes.

One time while watching the video I noticed something interesting in the way that the video has been constructed.

If you watch the video, do you notice anything interesting in the way that the video is constructed?

Here is a version with singing by Lale Andersen in German, on screen lyrics of an English translation of the German lyrics if one turns on the subtitles, and archive photographs.

The English translation of the German lyrics is different from the English lyrics of the English versions.
