About Gilberte de Courgenay
Gilberte Montavon was a legend in her own lifetime. As a young woman, she was confidante to hundreds of thousands of Swiss-German speaking soldiers during the First World War, and remembered most of their names. She was still a teenager when the war began, and was immortalised by a song written during the war years by the Swiss-German bard and lute player, Hans Inn der Gand.
Directed by Franz Schnyder, Gilberte de Courgenay leans on a strong ensemble — Erwin Kohlund, Anne-Marie Blanc, Heinrich Gretler — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about war titles of 1941.
