Catch her if you can: Edith Meinhard's filmography

Apologies for yet another delay; life loves to get in the way of itself. I've been in constant "sponge" mode over the past several months, taking in films of all kinds as a means of expanding my film knowledge (still quite basic at this point). My summertime research of Edith Meinhard's career came to a standstill for two reasons: distraction by other projects/interests, and the inability to procure more information about her career or whereabouts. Not being in Germany or versed in the German language has been an insurmountable challenge; as I have no personal or biological connection to Edith, access to any pertinent records is nigh on impossible. The best way to examine her career remains the films themselves, and despite the aforementioned language barrier, it's been an enjoyable journey thus far. I've listed all of her feature-length films below, noting ones that are available on DVD/streaming video for anyone interested in following her career. (Edith's full filmography, which includes several short films, can be found on IMDB.)
