Am Abend nach der Oper/That Evening After The Opera (Film 1945 - ENG SUB)

That Evening After The Opera (Original title: Am Abend nach der Oper) is a German film directed by Arthur Maria Rabenalt. Audio in German with English subtitles (harcoded).

Originally produced in 1944, censors demanded that changes be made in the movie to pass their restrictions. The changes were made; the censors approved the film; then changed their minds ten days later. The film languished on the shelf throughout the last days of the War, when it finally found its premier in 1945 in East Berlin!

Vienna, around 1910. Factory owner Peter Manders and his wife Julia have just dropped their secretary Merk off at home after a lovely evening at the opera when Merk does something extremely bold: in front of her husband, he asks Julia to visit him that very night. Julia nods in agreement, thereby dealing her husband a bitter blow.

When Julia later gets ready for her rendezvous, Manders does not hold her back - he grabs his pistol, but before he follows her, he writes her a farewell letter in which he explains his behavior.
