Until now it was almost impossible to find here the German film "Maedchen in Uniform" (1931) by Leontine Sagan. I could see when I wrote the book "The Celluloid Rosa" on a VHS released in England and of course could only see original with English subtitles. At the time I hit and do not hesitate to put it in first position of a particular top-30 in order of importance in this book. Transcribing my own words on this classification, put it there "because the film is more sensitive than the issue of homosexuality at that time and still move. Lesbianism but also a celebration of sexual freedom and the beauty of love in all its manifestations. "Now that is available and at an affordable price (9.95 two movies) is almost a sin to miss it. The first version of 1931 Annotated is a very great film not only for those interested in the gay theme but for the same film history. It is also one of the first in which the cast and crew is almost exclusively female for being done cooperatively with various women's associations. 
German cinema of those years was a hotbed of avant-garde and social and individual freedoms. Homosexuality was even a fashion as evidenced by the "lesbian look" that embodied the great Marlene Dietrich, among others. There is little critical predicament in general histories of cinema and perhaps because of its subject but it really seems to me paramount.
Sometimes I recommend a movie but you will know that I usually do for your particular issue but this time unreservedly recommend both for those interested in gay theme to which disfutéis case of good cinema. The pack comes complete with a funny remake of 1958 called for here, "Corruption in the boarding school" which has the great attraction of being herself starring Romy Schneider (Sissi in the famous film), which since then had enough courage to play a character that could classify and damage his career.
The Castilian title that was made this new film has a bit of bad baba, with all respect, and certainly looks a little scandal does not involve the original, as in 1931, also Girls in uniform are called literally. Regia Films applaud this recovery, or rather scoop since had not been posted here never to my knowledge.
