Angelika Hauff in a Romantic Polka-Dot Dress, during Filming

Description

Black-and-white photograph of a smiling young woman, Angelika Hauff, wearing a dotted, romantic dress with a wide sash and flowers in her hair. The scene is dramatically lit and shows an interior set, strongly suggesting a post-war film production. The costume is reminiscent of 19th-century fashion or the romantic aesthetic of the 1940s. Taken during the filming of the movie "The Secret of the Red Cat" (1947-1949) in Munich. The film was shot shortly after the war (Day of shooting 253 documented) and was only released in 1949. The film reels were elaborately processed by hand. Photographer: Munich Professional Photographer (Original negatives owned by the seller)
