Zarah Leander in color (3) ... La Habanera : Le Vent m'a dit une Chanson (Paris, 1938/4K/Colorized)

Today's video features a French Zarah Leander recording : "Le vent m'a dit une chanson" - the French version of Der Wind hat mir ein Lied erzählt" which was featured in the 1937 movie "La Habanera" which was directed by Detlef Sierck / Douglas Sirk. For the French dubbed versions of her movies, Zarah Leander dubbed her singing voice herself while her speaking voice was dubbed by a number of French actresses (the exception most likely being "Damals"). In 1938 Leander recorded 4 French songs from "Zu neuen Ufern" and "La Habanera" for Odeon. Except for a record in Switzerland in 1947, these were Zarah Leander's only French recordings. As a Leander fan, I have to admit that her voice loses a part of its charm in these French recordings. I can only assumethat this was one of the reasons why she made no more recordings in French during her years at UFA (a number of French singers recorded Leander songs - see my channel for more).
The video features colorized and upscaled. sequences from "La Habanera".
The colorization procedure largely done manually using Adobe Photoshop, resulting in more natural skin and hair color and details as Leander's famous red hair color is usually rendered as brown or dark brown. The colorization is AI based and NOT historically accurate. It is purely intended for entertainment purposes and gives an impression of what the movies and Zarah Leander might have looked like had she made a color movie. The software used includes Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere and Topaz Video AI.

Ob in Farbe oder in Schwarzweiß, Zarah Leander war in jedem Fall eine Augenweide… und diese Ausstrahlung! Sie legte sie auch in die Stimme, machte alles, was sie sang, zu etwas Besonderem… 🌹🌹🌹
