In the theatrical film version of Der Alpenkönig und der Menschenfeind , she was seen for the last time in a feature film alongside Attila Hörbiger, who embodies Rappelkopf, as his seriously suffering wife Antonie.

Werner Krauss , the bearer of the Iffland ring who died in 1959 , would have left the ring to Alma Seidler, according to his widow, if tradition had not excluded a woman from the outset.
