The German site, Movie Pilot, has some information (synopsis, cast, etc) at: http://www.moviepilot.de/movies/philharmoniker You can use the translation bot to read it if your German isn't all that good. Although it *appears* that German Amazon offers a streaming version the film, this is not the case. Clicking on the link will take you to a streaming film of philharmonic music, not the wanted film.
German Wikipedia (use the translator again) has an article on the film (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philharmoniker). It also shows that the production company was Tobis Films. Further searching on the German Wikipedia site indicates that the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Foundation (Stiftung) took over the Tobis holdings in 1966 (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung). They might be able to point you in the right direction for a copy of the film. I would check with that student, though, to make sure s/he's serious about the film before going to a lot of trouble to track it down. Perhaps s/he thinks it's a film made by the *Dutch* director, Paul Verhoeven, who made "Robocop" among other films.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
