It was shown in Soviet cinemas [s:36bdail2]theaters[/s:36bdail2] as a trophy movie in 1945. And secondly, when the "17 Momets of Spring" was colorized [s:36bdail2]lately[/s:36bdail2] recently, in the episode where Shtirlitz watches [s:36bdail2]the[/s:36bdail2] "Die Frau meiner Träume", the picture on the screen remains black and white although the original movie ("Frau" of course) was made in color(!).
There are many historical inaccuracies in the series, so the 1st doesn't surprise me.
But the second is pretty bad. I also looked up the colorized version, after someone told me that this series was colorized (HOW HORRIBLE!). I thought it looked very very bad. I didn't watch that particular scene that you describe, Basil, but I read about it. Sounds funny.

BTW in what episode is Stirlitz at the cinema? I'd like to see this colorized scene and I don't remember the details of the plot very well.
