Wonderful film and - finally - a DVD with very good picture quality, sound likewise. If you don't have it already, I urge you to buy it.
Look for an unusual amount of smoke in the harbour scenes. That was Kaeutner's way of disguising the destruction already caused by bombs at the time of filming. He simply put up a smoke screen. In spite of the difficult conditions while filming, there is much to be enjoyed. Including the [in]famous donkey. You'll love it.

A very odd movie for its' time - the permanently tipsy anti-hero, the 'innocent small town girl' with a soft spot for sailors (or anyone making advances), working girls with hearts of...something....and even an extended impressionistic nightmare scene. I'm guessing the immense popularity of the stars saved this piece of Weimar (or the BRD) from the censors, who wouldn't have been too happy with all this.
