If you loved Der Strohmann, try Die zweite Wahl - Eine Romanze
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Martin Ritt, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Der Strohmann, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Die zweite Wahl - Eine Romanze is
A film that dares to ask: what if Sally Field ran a horse ranch? She plays Emma, who relocates to a small town, where her affections are divided between a dependable local druggist and her unreliable ex. The movie might be primarily for people who like Norman Rockwell paintings.
