Der Postmeister (English: The Postmaster or The Stationmaster) was a 1940 German film directed by Gustav Ucicky.[1] Released during the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, it depicts Russians in a sympathetic light, unlike their depiction in such films as Friesennot before or GPU after.[2]
At the Venice Film Festival, it won the Mussolini Cup for best foreign film.
The daughter of a stationmaster falls in love with a cavalry captain. He persuades her to run away with him to St. Petersburg, but she realizes there that he never intended to marry her.
