Fräulein Feldgrau is a German silent film war game from 1914 by Carl Wilhelm .
action
Outbreak of war in 1914. The principality of Monaco , geographically enclosed by the German enemy France , feels compelled to endorse France's declaration of war on Germany. Therefore the German residents of Monaco are treated as prisoners of war and prevented from leaving the country. This also applies to the German baroness Waldstein and her loyal servant Heinrich. Nevertheless, both decide to make their way through France to Germany. At the border, the servant Heinrich is said to be French as a farm boy "Jean". Although they are stopped by the French, they are not identified as Germans.
The baroness bailed out Heinrich and herself by volunteering for military service with the fake Jean. The French put them both in German uniforms and now demand that both of them perform scouting services against their homeland, Germany. So the baroness and her servant Heinrich return home unscathed, but not without first having attacked and incapacitated an enemy French field guard through their death-defying mission. Back at her father's home again, the young German aristocrat meets a neutral Dutchman, whom she will eventually marry.
Production notes
Fräulein Feldgrau was created shortly after the outbreak of the First World War . The three-act play was premiered towards the end of 1914. For Austria-Hungary, the first performance was scheduled for mid-January 1915.
Miss Feldgrau is mistakenly equated with the similarly titled military fun game Miss Leutnant . Both films have the same leading actors in Else Bötticher and Albert Paulig and were directed by the same director. Bötticher also appears in front of the camera with a trouser role in both films. The production companies are just as different from each other as the content of the two films, one of which is set before the outbreak of war and the other after the outbreak of war in 1914.
criticism
“Else Böttcher [sic!] Also plays a second comedy and this time in her pants too. The subject is by Walter Turczinsky [sic!] And Carl Wilhelm…, who has now set up his own business in Berlin. His first work is already a very recommendable thing, also has a lot of humor, and opens up good prospects for the future of this new factory. We're talking about "Fräulein Feldgrau" ... "
