Romy Schneider and Horst Buchholz (1957)

Romy Schneider and Horst Buchholz were two of the leading idols of West German cinema in the 1950s. The photo shows a scene from the shooting of the successful romance film “Montpi” (1957). The film, quite risqué for its day, was a huge box office success because it responded to a widespread desire for escapism. Photo by Benno Wundshammer.
