Haunting in many ways
24 January 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Like the previous reviewer I had begun to wonder if my mind was playing tricks on me. I saw this film alone on a late night TV filming in December, 1966. For years I tried to find someone else who may have seen it -- even knowledgeable movie buffs, critics and film historians claimed it not to exist. No one had ever seen it! Had I dreamed it up myself? Now, thanks to the IMDb I found that both a German and French version exist. A young HorstBuchholz is in the former German movie. It was the one I saw.

I still remember the last few lines when Marianne is taken by her ward to some castle in Europe the shadow of which "crosses three countries' borders." I even tried the castle on a map of Europe.

I do wish some DVD entrpreneur would find it and restore it, and with it, my own jeunesse.
