Law of Love (German: Das Gesetz der Liebe) is a 1949 German historical drama film directed by Hans Schweikart and starring Hilde Krahl, Paul Hubschmid and Ferdinand Marian.[1] Production began in 1944 during the Nazi era and was completed by 1945, but the end of the Second World War led to delays in its distribution as also occurred with several other productions.[2] It was not released for a further four years until its premiere in Erlangen, Bavaria in the newly established West Germany. Its West Berlin premiere took place in May 1950.

The film was based on a 1936 novel of the same title by Fred Andreas. It was shot at the Bavaria Studios in Munich and at the Hostivar Studios in German-occupied Prague. The film's sets were designed by the art director Hans Sohnle.
