'The Black Forest Girl' is a 1950 West German drama film directed by Hans Deppe and starring Paul Hrbiger, Sonja Ziemann, and Rudolf Prack. It is based on the 1917 operetta of the same title by Leon Jessel and August Neidhart. The film was a huge commercial success, both the biggest hit that year and the most popular film since the war. Within two years fourteen million tickets were sold in West Germany, and on the strength of it Sonja Ziemann and Rudolf Prack topped the popularity charts and received Bambi awards.
The film's success revived the popularity of Heimatfilm, which came to dominate the German box office over the coming decade.
Production
It was made at the Tempelhof Studios in Berlin while Location shooting took place in the Black Forest. The film's sets were designed by the art director Gabriel Pellon. Shot in Agfacolor, it was the first colour film to be shot in western Germany since the Second World War. An East German production 'Heart of Stone' was also made in colour the same year.
