Beside a Moonlit Stream was the final film of Fleischer Studio's Screen Song series. The title song of the 1938 short was written by German Jewish composer Friedrich Hollaender. In the 1920's Hollaender was a well-known and important composer of shows and cabaret songs in Berlin - his father had been a composer too. In 1930, Hollaender composed the soundtrack for Marlene Dietrich's career-launching film The Blue Angel, he also directed the 1933 German film The Only Girl. In Germany, he was an outspoken critic of anti-semitism, and his shows were often disrupted, and apartment demolished, by Nazi thugs. After the Nazi's came to power in 1933 Hollaender immigrated to Hollywood, where he continued writing songs and scores for well-known movies. He received Oscar nominations four times. In 1956 he returned to Germany, and returned to working on shows and cabarets there.
