    Excellent movie

    I think this is was one of the best movies from the 50's. Is it touching to see the emotions in Olivia's face when she says under tears to her teacher that she loves her and later begins to cry in Julie's office when she calls her affection a "schimäre". The supporting characters are also excellent like the very strict but attractive Miss Riesener or the former pupil Laura, another beauty. I must also mention the dramatic wonderful film music.
