Edition Filmmuseum #45: München 1945 – Zwischen gestern und heute

From the Edition Filmmuseum newsletter:
"The 2-disc DVD presents newly restored footage which was shot in Munich just a few weeks after it was taken by the American troops on April 30, 1945. We see the enormous damage of the bombings which destroyed about 90% of the center of the city. Harald Braun’s „Zwischen gestern und morgen“ was the first post-war film shot in Munich. Love, betrayal and tragedy occur one night in a luxury hotel. Years later the protagonists are united again and face a decade of regrets, hate and unanswered questions caused by the war. Their lives are in ruins, just like the bombed hotel. The film features many former UFA stars, as well as Hildegard Knef who became the first new star of the German post-war cinema."

More details and purchasing information are available at the Edition filmmuseum website.

It sounds a little like Die Mörder sind unter uns (Murderers Among Us), also starring Hildegard Knef, which is not only an interesting film but fascinating for the fact that the wartime ruins it's set in are just that - actual wartime ruins.
