Fritz Rasp and Louise Brooks in Diary of a Lost Girl (G.W. Pabst, 1929)

Cast: Louise Brooks, Fritz Rasp, Valeska Gert, Josef Rovensky, Vera Pawlowa, Franziska Kinz, André Roanne, Arnold Korff, Andrews Engelmann, Edith Meinhard, Sybille Schmitz, Kurt Gerron. Screenplay: Rudolf Leonardt, based on a novel by Margarete Böhme. Cinematography: Sepp Allgeier, Fritz Arno Wagner. Art direction: Emil Hasler, Ernö Metzner. Music: Otto Stenzeel. 

Diary of a Lost Girl feels like a falling-off from the standard set by Pabst's first film with Louise Brooks, Pandora's Box (1929), in large part because its source, a 1905 novel by Margarete Böhme, was less distinguished than the one for the previous film: Frank Wedekind's two Lulu plays. Difficulties with censors resulted in some major cuts that sometimes leave the narrative hard to follow. Brooks plays Thymian Henning, the daughter of a well-to-do pharmacist (Josef Rovensky). She is raped and impregnated by her father's assistant, Meinert (Fritz Rasp). When she gives birth, her baby is taken away and she is expelled from her father's home, with the connivance of the housekeeper, Meta (Franziska Kinz), who later marries Thymian's father. She escapes from the oppressive reformatory to which she is sent and winds up in a high-class brothel. When her father dies, she expects an inheritance and marries her friend Count Orloff (André Roanne), who has been disinherited by his own father (Arnold Korff). But when she receives the money she discovers that Meta and the two children she had with Thymian's father have been left penniless. Rather than allow her young half-sister to suffer her own fate, Thymian gives her fortune to Meta. Learning of this, Count Orloff leaps to his death from an open window, but his remorseful father takes Thymian in, allowing her not only to prosper but also to take revenge on the reformatory personnel who had mistreated her. The elder Count Orloff then observes, "A little more love and no one would be lost in this world." That a story so improbable and sententious should work at all is a tribute to Pabst's willingness to take it seriously and to marshal a cast that performs it with apparent conviction. Brooks, however, feels miscast, especially after her triumph in Pandora's Box: It's difficult to accept the broad-shouldered, strong-backed Brooks as a 15-year-old, which she is at the film's beginning, and the performance feels one-note after the impressive range she achieved in the previous film. Diary of a Lost Girl was not a critical or commercial success, owing in part to the arrival of sound, which made it feel obsolete, and it didn't receive an American commercial release.
