What happens

A Prussian Love Story (Originally German: Preußische Liebesgeschichte, released in 1950 as Liebeslegende) is a 1938 German historical romance film directed by Paul Martin and starring Karl Günther, Hans Nielsen, and Willy Fritsch. The film depicts the love affair between William I and Elisa Radziwill. The film was shot at the Babelsberg Studios of UFA in Berlin. The film sets were designed by the art directors Willy Schiller and Karl Haacker. In the Third Reich the film was banned right after completion because the love affair of Joseph Goebbels and the actress Lída Baarová had become public. It was finally released in 1950 in West Germany by the Munich-based distributor Central-Europäischer-Filmverleih. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
