Halle gestern und heute - Bilder deutscher Städte (1983)

TV documentary. A CHRONOS film from 1983, broadcast on ARD. Narrator: Norbert Langer (voice of Tom Selleck aka Magnum) Lyrics: On the bright banks of the Saale castles stand proud and bold Their roofs have crumbled, and the wind blows through the halls, Clouds drift overhead. The knights may have disappeared, Spear and shield never ring; But to the wanderer, In the old, mossy stones often, delicate and gentle figures appear.
