What happens

Hanna Amon is a 1951 German Agfacolor drama film directed by Veit Harlan and starring Kristina Söderbaum, Lutz Moik and Ilse Steppat. It was shot at the Göttingen Studios and on location in Upper Bavaria. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Hans Berthel and Rochus Gliese. It was the second film after Immortal Beloved (also 1951) in a post-war comeback by director Harlan and his wife Söderbaum, who remained controversial figures due to their association with the Nazi era. Both films were major commercial hits, despite calls for a boycott. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
