Das Mädchen vom Pfarrhof

Das Mädchen vom Pfarrhof is a 1955 Austrian Heimatfilm based on a Ludwig Anzengruber's play Der Pfarrer von Kirchfeld and directed by Alfred Lehner. The film lacks the more controversial themes of the play, such as criticism of celibacy and of the attitude of the Church to suicide and divorce; instead, it takes a more positive outlook, which is characteristic of the Heimatfilme of the period. A rival West German film version of Anzengruber's play was released two months before Das Mädchen vom Pfarrhof.
