Berliner appeared in a number of well known movies in Germany during the 1930s; Masken, Ich heirate meinen Mann, Der Hochtourist, Die unsichtbare Front, Grossstadtnacht and Kaiserwalzer. Es war einmal ein Musikus was her last movie in Germany. Released in 1933, it also featured S.Z. Sakall. This was the fourth German movie that Berliner and Sakall appeared together in.

In 1942, Berliner received her first part in an American movie, Casablanca. She portrayed a woman playing baccarat with a Dutch banker (played by Torben Meyer). In her one line in movie, she says to the waiter Carl (played S.Z. Sakall), "Will you ask Rick if he will have a drink with us?", to which Carl responds, "Madame, he never drinks with customers. Never. I have never seen it."
Later that year, she had another bit part in the World War II romance Reunion in France starring John Wayne and Joan Crawford. The following year, Berliner played Frau Reitler in The Strange Death of Adolf Hitler. Her last movie was a small uncredited role as a German actress in the musical The Dolly Sisters in 1945 starring Betty Grable, June Haver and C.Z. Sakall.
Berliner lived quietly in California until she died on February 26, 1977 in San Diego just two days shy of her 74th birthday.

During World War I, young Ellen Lange runs away from her boarding school in Hamburg, because she cannot stand its strict rules any longer, and escapes to her brother Rolf, who lives in Kiel. Rolf, a vice-helmsman by profession, is not too enthusiastic about Ellen's arrival, because he has to go to England in secret orders. So he tries to convince her to go back to her boarding school, and when they both separate at the station, he is convinced that she will do so. But Ellen is unwilling to give up her new freedom again, so she takes another train to Berlin instead. During the journey, she meets a young girl that promises to help her find a job in Berlin. She also provides Ellen with the address of "Aunt Jenny", a dubios lady that finally gets her a job in a music store. After her three months of probation, Mr. Hansen, her boss, orders Ellen to bring a precious violin to Copenhagen. He also provides her with a false passport, as Ellen does not have any identity papers.
