'Imprisoned Soul' is a German silent drama film of 1917 directed by Rudolf Biebrach and starring Henny Porten, Paul Bildt, and Curt Goetz. A young woman, Violetta, falls under the hypnotic power of the villainous Baron von Groot. A young physician tries to rescue her from his clutches. She is finally released from Groot's power when he is found shot dead.Jung & Schatzberg pp. 36-37 The film's theme of hypnotic domination is very similar to that of 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' (1919) which the screenwriter Weine was to direct two years later.Jung & Schatzberg, p. 37
