Tango Notturno is a 1937 German drama film directed by Fritz Kirchhoff and starring Pola Negri, Albrecht Schoenhals, and Lina Carstens.[1]
The film's sets were designed by the art director Carl Böhm (art director) and Erich Czerwonski. It was shot at the Babelsberg Studios in Berlin.
The film made a hit of Pola Negri's rendition of the song "Ich hab' an dich gedacht" (lyrics by Hans-Fritz Beckman, music by Hans-Otto Borgmann) which gave its title to the film.[2] Negri's role was originally intended for Marlene Dietrich.
