I've had the print for a while it's strange that the beginning title cards didn't mention the name of the stars. It also didn't mention the that it was shot in Agfa. This print isn't bad but it isn't a perfect restoration, Like Women of my dream", and Women make better diplomats. It looks like the way the Marika Rokk film looked before it was restored. Some of the color become unstable and in some scenes the contrast becomes a bit dark. Well it's obvious that may be due to limited budget ,on restoration, plus the fact that Germany first color film feature was enhanced , Kolberg wasn't history international films had probably decided since the color was still intact to leave the scratches on and not to enhance it. So it's a good print but not excellent.Even though this picture is not banned in the German free market escapist type German classics are more popular up there rather than classic propaganda films. Here in the USA the ones with no propaganda in it arn't popular except for the one's that are sold in specialty video vendor's.Oh yes
