What happens
The Saint and Her Fool (German: Die Heilige und ihr Narr) is a 1928 German silent drama film directed by William Dieterle and starring Dieterle, Lien Deyers and Gina Manès. It was based on a novel by Agnes Günther and premiered at the Capital am Zoo in Berlin. Art direction was by Andrej Andrejew. For a long time, the movie was considered lost. Although never released in the US, a nitrate copy was discovered in Jack Warner's personal vault. In 2008 it was given to the UCLA in Los Angeles and restored. It was remade twice into a 1935 German film directed by Hans Deppe, music by Franz R. Friedl and a 1957 Austrian film directed by Gustav Ucicky. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
