User Reviews

SCHNULZE

This is what in German is called "Schnulze": a tear jerker that is simply too sugar sweet to be swallowed. Though it is made well enough, the cinematography of Günther Anders is fine, and it is well cast (it is at least noteworthy for Lil Dagover), the film may be hazardous for your brain and at least for your knowledge of history.
