Wir beide liebten Katharina (1945) User Reviews

Early German colour movie, which was never completed!

[Lars-65 · 2/10 · 29 August 2000]

This romantic comedy, starring Rene Deltgen and Monika Hauff, was filmed in the final days of World War Two. When Germany surrendered the film was to 20% completed. After the war this lavish Agfacolor production was not continued, and the already filmed material disappeared.

Where can we see it?

[mart-45 · 10/10 · 14 June 2016]

According to official sources, by spring 1945, 75% of material was ready and the opening night was planned for June 1945. Most of the film crew were killed, when their hotel in Würtzburg (the filming location) was bombed in March, 1945. Reportedly two reels of film and two rolls of sound still survive. It would be great to see these shots of one of the very last colour films of the Third Reich that was left unfinished. Angelica Hauff was really beautiful, she must have looked gorgeous in colour. I'm giving this film ten stars because that's the only way to comment on it, and I'm explaining why I did so, because I need to have ten lines of text in order to submit this review. :)
