A visual fragment from the archive: The thematic resonance of Die keusche Susanne perfectly mirrors the editorial trajectory of our deep dive.

Die freche Susanne führt ein aufregendes Doppelleben zwischen ihrem Heimatort und Paris: Im Provinznest gilt sie als das stets tugendhafte und bodenständige Mädchen, während sie in der Weltstadt, in die sie immer entwischt, die Königin der Nacht ist, mondän und verführerisch, von vielen Männern begehrt. In Paris lernt sie René kennen und beginnt um ihn zu werben, doch sie hat eine adlige Konkurrentin: Jacqueline. Ein munteres Dreiecksverhältnis beginnt, verkompliziert durch die Interventionen verständnisloser Moralprediger. Ihr standesgemäßes Finale findet die Geschichte im Moulin Rouge.
