Elfie Mayerhofer plays the title role in the romantic melodrama Anni. The story concentrates on a love triangle involving at least one party who doesn't take rejection very easily. As a result, tension mounts until the final fadeout, and even then doesn't let up. Josef Meinrad costars as the man who loves neither wisely nor well, and suffers spectacularly because of it. Director Max Neufeld also wrote the screenplay, doing an excellent job on both counts. As a bonus, Anni includes a few musical highlights, nimbly handled by Ms. Mayerhofer.
