Irene Rysbergue's great love is a French silent film from 1929 by Julien Duvivier with Maria Jacobini in the title role.
action
Irene Rysbergue is married to a much older baron and lives a bourgeois marriage, equivalent to a golden cage, in the upper class: free of any financial worries and yet infinitely bored. Her emotionally cold husband, to whom she has given two sons, has long since become estranged from her and follows other women. Even the sons never found a connection with their mother. When Irene met a young Spahi officer, an officer of the French colonial troops, at a costume party one day, it was over for her. The young man, Georges de Chambry, presses a kiss on her lips, which Irène initially replies, but as a result lets her rush out of the ballroom, shocked by her own daring.
When Georges finds out a little later that Irene is the mother of an old school friend, he too is initially shocked. Both fight against their feelings. But the fire between the Irene and Georges has long been kindled. Irene follows her great love to Africa when Georges is called back to join his comrades. But reality soon catches up with the unlikely couple. After a few months of intense happiness, Irene has to painfully acknowledge the fact that there is a not inconsiderable age difference between her and the significantly younger Georges when he falls in love with the young British girl Miss Dickson. Disillusioned, aged and heartbroken, Irene returns to Paris, where she is reconciled with her husband, who has also returned home, at the cradle of her first grandchild.

criticism
“… The most compact theater-only theater of real French shot and grain, tirades of love, duets of jealousy, hollow laughter of despair, conversation everywhere and almost vividly concentrated in the Grand Scène with the riding whip, hatred and stucking bosom. It was very brave of Maria Jacobini to take on the role of the belated lover of forty and a few years old, actually she is still too fresh and too pretty for that. But she has maturity in acting, that is very, very noble theater, and she certainly cannot be held responsible for the excesses. The young Spahi lieutenant, who naively irresistibly takes the morally firm mother with him, has the fiery, serious head of a youth of Franz Lederer; Actually, as a high school graduate in eroticism, not much is asked of him. "
Paimann's film lists summed up: “After an excellent start, the action continues in the colonies, but cleverly avoids the cliffs that this milieu usually creates in social films. This time the Jacobini is surprisingly well done; Lederer more indecisive lover than colonial officer. The rather continuous direction ensures splendid interiors and visually effective exterior shots ... Overall qualification: Well above average. "
