It's You I Have Loved

It's You I Have Loved (German: Dich hab ich geliebt) is a 1929 German drama film directed by Rudolf Walther-Fein and starring Mady Christians, Walter Jankuhn, and Hans Stüwe. It is considered the first full sound film to be made in Germany (following part-sound films which had been released earlier in the year). When it was released in the United States, the film's plot was compared to that of The Jazz Singer. It is also known as Because I Loved You.
