Visualizing the convergence of Victor Janson's style and the core Comedy narrative.
Mrs, Hardy's honeymoon is a failure. Though her husband tries to surfeit her with kisses, the appearance of a fascinating creature on the beach arouses her jealousy, for she suspects they are acquainted. A yachting trip to which the newly-weds invite the husband's friend, a judge on holiday, is interrupted by the fair unknown appearing in bathing costume. Seething with jealousy, the young wife gives vent to her feelings, and when her husband is recalled to town, declines to accompany him. But the hated woman is on the train, and through the jamming of a latch the couple are in a sleeping compartment together all night. This brings matters to the Divorce Court, and a decree nisi is pronounced. Ultimately the husband and wife are reconciled, and the vivacious cause of the troubles marries the judge.
Decades after its release, Die geschiedene Frau remains a vital piece of the cinematic puzzle. Its influence can be seen in countless modern works, solidifying Victor Janson's status as a master of the craft in Germany and beyond.
