Quote:
Documentary about young actress Romy Schneider, capturing just the right moment between her first career as a young actress in mainstream “Unterhaltungskino” (“entertainment cinema”) and her second one as acknowledged European arthouse actress.

More info (taken from the website of “Bayerischer Rundfunk”):

Zur Entstehungszeit der Dokumentation war Romy Schneider 27 Jahre alt, das Sissi-Image hatte sie abgelegt, die eigentliche Weltkarriere hatte trotz eines Hollywood-Aufenthaltes und der Zusammenarbeit mit berühmten Regisseuren noch nicht richtig begonnen. 30 Filme mit ihr waren bis dato in den Kinos gelaufen, Luchino Visconti hatte sie in “Schade, dass sie eine Dirne ist” in Paris zu einem Triumph auf der Bühne geführt und mit ihr seine Episode in “Boccaccio 70” inszeniert, Otto Preminger war ihr Regisseur in “Der Kardinal” gewesen, der große Orson Welles hatte sie für seine Kafka-Verfilmung “Der Prozess” geholt – ein Erlebnis, das sie tief geprägt hat.

Das Melodrama “Schornstein Nr. 4” mit Michel Piccoli, ihrem späteren Partner in Welterfolgen wie “Die Dinge des Lebens” oder “Das Mädchen und der Kommissar”, war gerade abgedreht. Doch die junge Schauspielerin zweifelte an sich selbst, sie litt unter der Publicity, die sich mehr mit ihrem Privatleben oder mit ihrem Welterfolg “Sissi” beschäftigte als mit der ernstzunehmenden Künstlerin Romy Schneider. Otto Preminger hatte ihr bestätigt, dass sie das Zeug zum Weltstar besaß, doch sie verweigerte sich vielen Angeboten, von Selbstzweifeln gequält. Waren es schon zu viele Verweigerungen?

“Romy – Porträt eines Gesichts” bietet einen faszinierenden Einblick in die damalige seelische Gestimmtheit der Schauspielerin und vertraut dabei ganz auf ihr sprechendes Gesicht und ihre eigenen Kommentare und Beurteilungen ihrer Erfahrungen, Erlebnisse, Hoffnungen und Ängste.

Boccaccio ’70 is a four-part anthology film inspired by Giovanni Boccaccio’s collection of bawdy, limerick-laden farces, The Decameron. The Italian-American brainchild of producers Carlo Ponti and Joseph E. Levine, the film pulls together contributions from four major Italian directors: Mario Monicelli (Big Deal on Madonna Street), Federico Fellini (8½), Vittorio De Sica (Umberto D.), and Luchino Visconti (The Leopard).

The post Mario Monicelli & Federico Fellini & Luchino Visconti & Vittorio De Sica – Boccaccio ’70 (1962) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Kitty is a musician ‘s daughter ,daddy plays in the fanfare which welcomes the ministers of the foreign affairs who come for an international conference in Geneva .

You do not change a winning team;the Romy Schneider/Karl Boehm partnership proved highly successful in the legendary “Sissi” which became one of the biggest blockbusters in fifties Europa and spawned two sequels (Romy turned down a hefty sum to make a fourth episode) So here they are again,but their numerous fans have got to be patient :it takes 48 minutes before they meet.

“Kitty Und Die Große Welt” is pleasant harmless stuff ,in the tradition of Schneider’s very early roles;she was 16 (and not 18 ,as we are told in this movie)and portrays not an empress but a musician ‘s daughter ,a musician who plays in the fanfare which welcomes the ministers of the foreign affairs who come for an international conference in Geneva .

Kitty is a manicurist who ,by chance ,meets the English minister (“you could be my father”)and becomes a prey to the tabloids ;to protect her ,the politician sends his nephew (Boehm) who,of course ,is going to fall for her.They go on a stroll by the banks of Genova Lake and enjoy cheese fondue (there’s a similar scene in an inn in the second installment of the Sissi Saga).

Meanwhile ,the uncle,who has never a penny in his pocket ,discovers the bistros ,he takes the bus as humble people do ;the best scene takes place on the lake when the boy claims his due and the distinguished English has to row the boat ashore.

This is a simple comedy,but one that might possess considerable appeal for fans of Sissi .For those who like Schneider’s later career,they’d better move on.As for me, I like Romy in any movie. by dbdumonteil

The post Alfred Weidenmann – Kitty und die große Welt AKA Kitty and the Great Big World (1956) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Max Baumstein is a reputable businessman, a rich self-made man with a conscience – he founded a highly visible and active international organization fighting against violations of human rights. Why would he commit an act that apparently negates the principles he has striven for so long to uphold? Eventually, he reveals a secret about himself that he kept hidden from his younger wife Lina, and that in a roundabout way concerns her as well. It is the conclusion of a struggle that started many decades earlier, when Elsa Wiener, a German singer exiled in Paris, without money or relations, a refugee among many others, faced two daunting problems: surviving in a foreign city, and saving her husband Michel from the clutches of the Nazis.
