The Girl Irene (1936)

other title: Das Mädchen Irene / 女孩伊莲娜 …
Another rare Schünzel, this time in melodramatic mode. A woman (Lil Dagover) who has lost her husband falls in love again, but is bitterly opposed by her daughters especially the title figure who can't stand the thought of seeing her mother going into a relationship with another man. Those who want to see if Schünzel can pull of drama as easily as he does comedy should give it a try.
