My Take
Liselotte Pulver is the kind of star I genuinely cherish. She carried German cinema through the 1950s and 60s, yet she did it as the tomboy with the hearty, unstoppable laugh rather than the tragic diva. A Bern native who went international in A Time to Love and a Time to Die and Wilder's One, Two, Three, she kept earning honors into her nineties, right up to the 2021 Swiss Film Award. I have deep respect for performers who light up a room with joy instead of gravity. That famous laugh, I suspect, warmed everyone around her off-screen too.
