Individual evidence

  1. ↑ 1984 the irregular golden canvases for "Play me the song of death", "Damned in all eternity" and "The bridge on the Kwai" are not included in the list. These golden canvases are irregular because these three films have not been shown again with more than 3 million viewers within 18 months.
  2. ↑ The special version is not an original category of the golden canvas , but a very limited practice of awarding prizes. Unlike the regular golden screen with a star (6 million viewers in 18 months), the special version 1981–1984 was awarded to films with over 6 million viewers over time. Many titles would have been conceivable for this, but only six films were actually awarded. The reason for this could not be determined. Another special edition of the golden screen with a star was awarded to “Das Dschungelbuch” in 1988, namely a “one-time special version of the golden screen with three [!] Stars for more than 15 million visitors” since the first showing in 1968 (quoted from www.filmecho.de / golden_surface).
