Die Halbzarte

"Die Halbzarte" or "Eva" is an Austrian German-language film from 1959, so this one is also already almost 60 years old and it stars Romy Schneider, one of the biggest stars in film at this point already, especially in Central Europe. She began filmmaking next to her mother, but soon developed into a much bigger star than Magda Schnedier and here she also plays the title character.

At the end of her life, Romy Schneider made a list of her 60 movies, saying that she never really did a great one, and only ten that were "okay". "Die Halbzarte", one of the last movies she did in her native Germany, was decidedly not one of them.

Another film with Romy Schneider at the cinema. The 35mm print looked like it had just been struck, with rich, vibrating colors and a clear depth of field – a true delight.
