- Synopsis:
A tragic romance set among the noble classes of 19th century Vienna, 'Liebelei' showcases legendary director Max Ophuls signature themes of love and death, as well as his wonderfully fluid visual style. In the wake of his loveless affair with a beautiful baroness, Fritz (Wolfgang Liebeneiner), a handsome lieutenant of the mounted Dragoons, becomes enamored with Christine (Magda Schneider), the daughter of a middle-class musician. Christines innocence and trust inspire Fritz to reform his philandering ways - the purity of their love eloquently represented by the majestic, snow-blanketed Semmering forests through which they sleigh. But when the jealous Baron Eggersdorf (Gustaf Grundgens) learns of his wifes past indiscretions, he challenges the young officer to a duel, threatening to end the idyllic romance of Fritz and Christine before it can truly begin. - Actors:
