Summary: An early feminist classic, "Maedchen in Uniform" was originally banned in Germany and censored in the U.S. Set in a strict boarding school, the tale of a lonely girl's crush on a female teacher proved too sensual for many. With Eleanor Roosevelt's help, U.S. condemnation was reversed, and the film was later named best film of the year by the New York press. Today considered one of Germany's greatest films, the all-female production stands out for its sensitive acting and tender portrayal of female love.
