Franz Eichberger (actor)
Franz Eichberger (* 31 July 1919 in Puchberg am Schneeberg; † 29 May 1991) was an Austrian Actor. Biography Franz Eichberger came to the film industry through Leni Riefenstahl. The director was searching for a suitable actor for the role of the young shepherd Pedro in her film adaptation of the opera ''Tiefland''. In her autobiography, she writes that she noticed the then 20-year-old Austrian at the 1939 Kandahar Ski Race in St. Anton am Arlberg, and he visually matched her vision for the film character. After the war, however, an article in the magazine ''Revue'' claimed, Riefenstahl made 2,000 ''Gebirgsjäger'' walk by in front of her multiple times to choose a suitable actor. Riefenstahl strongly denied this claim and insisted on her version of events, which was confirmed by Eichberger and her former assistant Harald Reinl in sworn statements.

Riefenstahl started to develop the script in 1934, with the movie being shot between 1940 and 1944.

Bergkristall (1949)
''Rock Crystal'' (german: Bergkristall; 1845) is a novella by Austrian writer Adalbert Stifter, about two children who become lost in a snowstorm in the Alps on Christmas Eve. It influenced Thomas Mann. Mann called Stifter "one of the most extraordinary, the most enigmatic, the most secretly daring and the most strangely gripping narrators in world literature". Poet W. H. Auden wrote: "To bring off, as Stifter does, a story of this kind, with its breathtaking risks of appalling banalities, is a great feat. What might so easily have been a tear-jerking melodrama becomes in his hands a quiet and beautiful parable about the relation of people to places, of man to nature." The story's power, according to author Susan Choi, arises not from danger, but from "catastrophe's quiet avoidance: from the series of small miracles by which the children survive". Hannah Arendt praised Stifter as a "friend of reality" and "the greatest landscape painter in literature" for his avoidance of genera ...
