This Italian poster is a 2–sheet, measuring 78 inches x 55 inches (200 cm x 140 cm). It differs from the German poster graphics by adding the queue of female prisoners lined up to go onboard the ship departing London for the Antipodes – to the bleak Parramatta Womens' Prison, 25 miles from Sydney. Incidentally, the Womens' Prison still stands in present-day Parramatta as a national heritage site.

The original Italian poster  shown at the bottom of this webpage used the German poster graphic design but added the queue of prisoners, undoubtedly because without that imagery the Italian title of the film "The female prisoner of Sydney" would not have made much sense.  We show the original German poster image at right.

A  scene  from the film of Leander as a female prisoner in colonial Parramatta, Australia:

BELOW, Remains of the notorious Female Prison & Workhouse in Parramatta, NSW, 25 miles from Sydney. It was built in 1821 and over 9,000 female prisoners from Great Britain were transported there for mostly minor crimes, serving 7 or 14 year sentences. Upon release, the freed women had no choice but to remain is Australia, as they had no means to buy passage on a ship back to GB.  The Prison was closed in 1848 when criminals stopped being sent to Australia and "Transportation" ended. The Prison had a marriage bureau which allowed men to choose a prisoner to be his wife, and if she consented, he paid for her freedom and her sentence was commuted if she married him. This scene in Zu neuen Ufern was an accurate depiction of such historical events. (Photo taken January 2025).

An outstanding re–mastered print of the film, along with Zarah Leander in La Habanera was released on Blu Ray in early 2021, both with English subtitles:
