this be a very daring film for it day . it could even be describe a soft core porn for the silent era . it be a talkie and but dialog be extremely limited and and in german . one do not need it anyway . the young ( 19 ) hedy lamarr get trap in a loveless marriage to an obsessive ( stereotype . ) german and after a short time in a marriage that be apparently never consummate and return home to her father . in a famous and funny scene and she decide to go skinny dip one morning when her horse be distract by another . she be then force to run across a field chasing after it and a she leave her clothing on the horse . an engineer retrieve her horse and return her clothing after get an eyeful . they sit for a while and and in a zen moment and he present her with a flower with a bee sit on top . this be where she think back to her honeymoon and the action of her husband and an insect . she know this man be different . she return home and eventually seek out our young fellow and and find the ecstasy she be deny . you can use your imagine here and but his head disappear from view and we see her writhe with pleasure . since he never get undressed and you can imagine . certainly and an homage to woman by the director gustav machatý and and a shock to 1933 audience . the only thing that mar this beautifully filmed movie be the excessive guilt and and a strange end .
