The Great Leap Original

In the peaks of the Italian Dolomites, an athletic and sure-footed shepherdess (Leni Riefenstahl) was always a step ahead of the smitten neighbor boy (Luis Trenker), but she might finally be in danger of falling… for a well-bred young klutz (Hans Schneeberger) arrived on an Alpine skiing retreat. Romantic farce, easily the lightest of leading lady Riefenstahl’s “mountain films” for director Arnold Fanck, also stars Paul Graetz. 111 min. Standard; Soundtrack: music score; audio commentary. Silent with music score.
