Christa Winsloe's novel
Mädchen in Uniform was first filmed in
Germany in 1933 by Leontine Sagan. The story, about a sensitive schoolgirl's lesbian attachment to her headmistress, was handled tastefully, albeit with remarkable frankness for its period. The 1958 remake is somewhat toned down, though technically the production has fewer frayed edges than the 1933 version.
Romy Schneider stars in the old Hertha Thiele role as the student, while
Lilli Palmer takes over from Dorothea Wieck as the older woman. Made in 1958, the remake of
Mädchen in Uniform was not released in the U.S. until 1965, possibly because the Production Code was still in force.
