Film Scene: Encounter in an Opulent Salon (Post-War Era)

Description

Black-and-white photograph of a film scene from the early post-war period in Munich. A man (Heinz Rühmann) in a suit holds a bowler hat, while a young woman (Angelika Hauff) in a historical, polka-dotted dress sits on a richly decorated sofa. The setting is elaborately designed and suggests a historical drama or a comedy filmed in one of the reopened Munich film studios. Taken during the shooting of the film "The Secret of the Red Cat" (1947–1949) in Munich. The film was shot shortly after the war (shooting day 253 documented) and was only released in 1949. The film reels were elaborately processed by hand. Photographer: Munich Professional Photographer (Original negatives in the seller's possession)
