Synopsis

[Film was initially passed by the Nazi censors, but this decision was reversed after Hitler previewed the film and reacted angrily to it. It did have a showing in Vienna in early December 1938, prior to this. The film had been due for release in Germany on 25th December 1938, but was withdrawn after its certification was changed. It actually premiered in Hamburg on 9th February 1950, in a slightly shorter version, under the title EINE FRAU FÜR'S LEBEN].
