Maria Wimmer
Born 1911-01-27 · Dresden, Germany
Maria Wimmer (1911–1996) was a German stage, film, and television actress, trained in the great German-speaking theatrical tradition. A prominent figure of the Austrian and German postwar stage, she was long associated with the Burgtheater in Vienna, where she performed a wide repertoire ranging from classical works to contemporary authors. On screen, she appeared in several European productions, including the historical miniseries Richelieu, the Velvet Cardinal (1977), in which she portrays Marie de’ Medici across four episodes. Her performance, both restrained and authoritative, suits this complex political figure perfectly.

6.8WWII is entering its last phase: Germany is in ruins, but does not yield. The US army lacks crucial knowledge about the German units operating on the opposite side of the Rhine, and decides to send two German prisoners to gather information. The scheme is risky: the Gestapo retains a terribly efficient network to identify and capture spies and deserters. Moreover, it is not clear that "Tiger", who does not mind any dirty work as long as the price is right, and war-weary "Happy", who might be easily betrayed by his feelings, are dependable agents. After Tiger and another American agent are successfully infiltrated, Happy is parachuted in Bavaria. His duty: find out the whereabouts of a powerful German armored unit moving towards the western front.

9.0Young Olga Ahrendt almost succeeded in attempting suicide. She had thrown herself in front of a tram out of desperation about her miserable life, a desperation she shared with many in the post-war period. Fortunately, Privy Councillor Sauerbruch is at the scene of the incident, ordering her to be admitted to his clinic after a brief examination. Sauerbruch works both as a university lecturer and as a surgeon, a famous doctor who not only helps his patients physically but also gives them spiritual comfort. After he has taken Olga Ahrendt to his hospital, he discovers during an examination that her suicide attempt is due to a serious physical illness. He intensively takes care of her without forgetting about his other patients, to whom he can give a new will to live, even if only through a small story. And he will also treat Olga Ahrendt successfully...
