[ru] Катерина (фильм, 1936)

«Катерина», в оригинале: «Катерина последняя» (нем. Katharine, die Letzte) — австрийская комедийная кинолента, выпущенная на экран в начале 1936 года. Забавная история о любви горничной Катерины и богатого бездельника Ганса. Постановку осуществил немец Герман Костерлиц, в будущем голливудский кинорежиссёр (в США: Генри Костер). Главную роль исполнила популярная в те годы венгерская актриса Франческа Гааль, до этого уже блеснувшая в двух фильмах Костерлица «Петер» (1934) и «Маленькая мама» (1935). Все три киноленты с большим успехом демонстрировались в прокате СССР.
