Franz Nabl

A flower seller at a local station, Christine, whiles away the day with her colleague Anni, both dreaming of finding their true love. Christine encounters and falls for a painter, Albrecht, but is already engaged to the accountant, Krummholz. Completed in 1944, a year before Brief Encounter, but suppressed by the Nazi authorities until after the war, Der verzauberte Tag stands out as a romantic masterpiece in an era of conformist German cinema.

This totally forgotten film is adapted from a story by Franz Nabl who also provided the basis for Der verzauberte Tag. The story is about a rich murderer (Siegfried Breuer) who killed his wife out of jealousy nd tries to start a new life. He meets a young woman (Gusti Huber) and marries her without telling her the secret directly.
