프랑수아 트뤼포가 ‘진정한 작가’로 평가했던 거장 막스 오퓔스의 마지막 영화. 시네마 스코프와 풍부한 색감의 테크니컬러 등 당시로서는 매우 혁신적인 스타일을 선보인, 영화사적으로 상당히 주요한 작품이다. 19세기 사교계를 풍미했던 롤라가 서커스단의 주인공으로 등장해 플래시 백을 통해 자신의 과거를 들려주는 형식의 이 영화는 당시 제작사의 횡포로 다양한 버전의 판본이 존재하면서 정당한 평가를 받지 못했다.

Life and death of King Ludwig II of Bavaria.

Young 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...

The overwhelmed old gentleman initially wants to get rid of the child, but then takes it home and takes care of it together with his housekeeper. Both take the bundle of joy to their hearts. But then everything turns out differently.
