Land der Sehnsucht is an unfinished, German-Italian travel and romance film with crime thriller elements from 1950. Jenny Jugo can be seen here in her last role.
action
Only the framework for action has been handed down.
Since the planned tour guide for a crowd of tourists on the way to Italy is allegedly suddenly prevented, the secretary of the travel agency has to step in unexpectedly and accompany the tour group on the bus. The fancy travel guide, however, is a criminal; He has put contraband goods in the spare tire of the bus that his stealing companion is urgently waiting for in Italy.
The guide secretly follows the bus in his own car to ensure that there is no mishap on the way to the customer. For the secretary, this trip is like the fulfillment of a long-cherished dream, for her Italy is the land of longing. There were some complications on site before she played a decisive role in clearing up the smuggling affair. Love is not neglected either, as the young woman meets her dream man in Bella Italia.
Production notes
The shooting of Land der Sehnsucht , the first German-Italian joint production after the Second World War , began on August 25, 1950 with the studio shoot in Munich- Geiselgasteig . While Jugo's in-house director Erich Engel was busy with the studio recordings, which he completed on schedule with the planned German financial contribution of 750,000 DM, the outdoor recordings in Italy were to be made by the Italian co-director Camillo Mastrocinque . However, since the Italian side had got into considerable “financial difficulties”, in October 1950 the shooting was first interrupted, then canceled. The production could not be completed. There was therefore no world premiere.
The film not only marked the end of Jenny Jugo's career, it was also, after more than two decades of abstinence from the screen, the only sound film by Rosa Porten , a star of early German silent film.
Hermann Warm designed the film structures that Bruno Monden implemented. The producers Eberhard Klagemann (Yugos house producer for decades) and André Mattoni also took over the production management.
criticism
Since the film was not completed, there is no criticism.
