Back Then (German : Damals ) is a 1943 German drama film directed by Rolf Hansen and starring Zarah Leander , Hans Stüwe , and Rossano Brazzi .[ 1] The film's sets were designed by Walter Haag .
It was made at the Babelsberg Studio , by Universum Film AG , Germany's largest film company. It was Leander's final film of the Nazi era, as she returned to Sweden shortly afterwards. This was a blow for the German film industry, as she was the most popular and highest-paid star. Leander's next film was not for another seven years, when she made a comeback in Gabriela (1950).
