Mädchen in Uniform (Blu-ray)(1931)

With her widowed father soldiering, teenage Manuela von Meinhardis (Hertha Thiele) was packed off to a strict all-girls boarding school. The rough transition was eased by the compassion of sympathetic teacher Fräulein von Bernburg (Dorothea Wieck)... but Manuela's emerging feelings for the kind governess might lead to a shaking of the academy's foundations. Leontine Sagan's groundbreaking effort co-stars Emilia Unda, Ellen Schwanneke, Erika Mann. 98 min. Standard; Soundtrack: German; Subtitles: English; audio commentary. In German with English subtitles.
