Another gem directed by the great Veit Harlan. A melodramatic love story in a poetic romantism genre. Very well written top-quality film in every aspect. Especially stunning is color photography. Actors live through their roles: Kristina Söderbaum and Carl Raddatz give a magnificent performance. The cast and the director turn even small parts into acting masterpieces. Dialogs are very meaningful. I think that the main message of this film is that to love someone means to make a loved one happy even if one has to sacrifice his/her own love and happiness.
