Land of Love (German: Land der Liebe) is a 1937 German romance film directed by Reinhold Schünzel and starring Albert Matterstock, Gusti Huber and Valerie von Martens.[1] It was shot at the Bavaria Studios in Munich and the Johannisthal Studios in Berlin.[2] The film's sets were designed by the art directors Wilhelm Depenau, Kurt Dürnhöfer and Ludwig Reiber. Although Schünzel was Jewish, he had been allowed to continue directing films in Germany after the Nazi takeover. However, this film faced objections from the censors and from Joseph Goebbels. It was briefly shown and then disappeared from cinemas.[3] It was Schünzel's final German film as director, and he went into exile shortly afterwards.
