Maedchen in Uniform Review- Terrence Tigney

I've just finished watching "Maedchen in Uniform" and overall, it was a decent movie. The description of it made it seem like it was your typical 'student and teacher fall in love and have an illicit affair' kind of movie; however this was not the case. It seemed to be more about a young girl's toils, as she deals with losing her mother and being thrown into an all girls school, where they are trained to be good, obedient wives. Due to her loss and the rather strict way the girls are treated, the main character (played by Romy Schneider) latches on to the only kind adult there: her teacher (played by Lilli Palmer). Although, her teacher does not share them same intimate feelings for her. Overall, I would give the movie 3.5 stars.

Some new words I've learned are:

Ouberlegen- superior

Absonderung- isolation

lieben-to love
