The Zurich Engagement

Directed by Helmut Käutner

With Liselotte Pulver, Paul Hubschmid, Bernhard Wicki, Wolfgang Lukschy and Roland Kaiser

Juliane Thomas is an ambitious but unemployed young writer. After breaking up with her lover she works at a dentist friend to make ends meet. One day she instantly falls in love with one of the patients (Jean Berner) and promptly writes a movie script about the encounter in which she projects her own fantasies about how things will turn out eventually. By coincidence this movie script is picked up by a film director who happens to be Berner's closest friend and from then on things become very complicated...
