You remember the pictures I posted earlier on an old movie? - with the dark-haired actress as Maria, well that is that movie. It is a good movie, in its sense of a tragic love better more emotional than the remake.
Thank you aor for the link to the documentaire, curious to see it - though I don't understand german.
Great news that a series is made, 2 parts, probably German? If it is then there is a good chance it will be released on dvd here someday(often these are released here in Belgium).
