Add to wishlist DetailsExisting reviews The film that led to a huge scandal in postwar Germany, because Hildegard Knef dared to show her naked bosom on the screen! Marina's in Seventh Heaven. The ex-prostitute has fallen in love with the painter, Alexander. Soon, however, black clouds appear on the horizon: her painter-lover appears to be going blind. In order to get the money for an operation that'll save his sight, Marina takes up her old profession. No other film so accurately reflected the hypocritical bigotry which still existed in defeated Germany. Catholic clergymen sabotaged screenings of the film by throwing stink bombs into theatres; Cardinal Frings of Cologne referred to the drama as "an example of the moral decomposition of Germany". All for naught, it seems: the film became a box-office hit in a country tired of two-faced morality lessons, while the stink of the crematoria could still be smelled throughout all Europe. Der blanke Busen von Hildegard Knef sorgte für den Kinoskandal der 50er. Melodram. Marina schwebt im Siebten Himmel. Die Ex-Prostituierte hat sich in den Maler Alexander verliebt. Doch dann ziehen schwarze Wolken auf: Der Künstler droht zu erblinden. Um Geld für die rettende Operation aufzutreiben, nimmt Marina wieder ihren alten Beruf auf… Kein Nachkriegsfilm spiegelte in den Reaktionen besser die Bigotterie des damaligen Deutschland wider. Katholische Geistliche sabotierten Kinovorstellungen mit Stinkbomben, und der Kölner Kardinal Frings geißelte das Drama als „Zersetzung sittlicher Begriffe“. Doch sündiges Deutschland: Das Werk wurde zu einem echten Kassenschlager. DVD-R is in German with switchable English subtitles. Approx. 83 mins. See film sample for audio and video quality!
