Goodbye, Franziska (1941 Film)

It portrays the relationship between a globetrotting reporter and his devoted wife. The film was remade in 1957.

It was shot at the Tempelhof Studios. Synopsis Reisiger travels over the world, in search of news stories. He meets and marries Franziska, after her pr ...
