Plot
Yvette was adapted from the oft-filmed Guy de Maupassant story of the same name. The title character, played by Ruth Hellberg, is a convent-educated girl who is unaware that her mother Oktavia (Kaethe Dorsch) is a prostitute. Upon learning the truth, poor Yvette tries to kill herself. Touched by her plight, worldly Aristine de Saval (Johannes Riemann) who has always believed that all women are whores, falls deeply in love with the virginal Yvette. Reviewers in 1938 were pleasantly surprised that De Maupassant's tender fable was so well realized by director Wolfgang Liberneiner, hardly a master of subtlety. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
