Heidi in Bloomington, MN

German director Werner Jacobs 1965 drama Heidi stars Eva Maria Singhammer in the title role of a young girl who happily resides in a quaint mountain chalet with her kindly grandfather (Gustav Knuth). When Heidi is taken by her aunt to live in Frankfort and help Klara (Gertraude Mittermayr), a wealthy man's crippled daughter, she finds herself under the constant watchful eye of a cold and aloof governess and grows to miss her grandfather terribly. Fortunately, as Heidi works to raise Klara's spirits, the two form a strong bond with one another. Adapted from the novel by Johanna Spyri, this is just one of countless filmed versions of the tale.
