Am Abend nach der Oper (In the Evening After the Opera) is a 1945 German crime drama directed by Arthur Maria Rabenalt, completed near the end of WWII. It follows Rudolph, a man who murdered his first wife in a jealous rage and remarries, only to face blackmail and suspicion from his second wife, Julia, when his past resurfaces. Now, history seems to be repeating itself.

Originally produced in 1944, censors demanded that changes be made in the movie to pass their restrictions. The changes were made; the censors approved the film; then changed their minds ten days later. The film languished on the shelf throughout the last days of the War, when it finally found its premier in 1945 in East Berlin!
