Dreams of Love (German: Liebesträume) is a 1935 historical biographical drama film directed by Heinz Hille and starring Franz Herterich, Walter Steinbeck and Olga Chekhova.[1] [2] It was a co-production between German, Austria and Hungary, and was released as Die Pusztakomtesse in Austria. It was shot at the Hunnia Studios in Budapest and on location in Tata. The film's sets were designed by the art director Márton Vincze.
