The Great and the Little Love (German: '''Die große und die kleine Liebe''') is a 1938 German comedy film directed by Josef von Báky and starring Jenny Jugo, Gustav Fröhlich, Rudi Godden.[1] Jugo plays a stewardess working for Lufthansa. It was shot at the Johannisthal Studios in Berlin with sets designed by the art directors Karl Weber and Erich Zander. It was filmed partly on location around Genoa in Italy.
During a stopover in Zurich, the stewardess Erika Berghoff spends some time with the passenger Dr. Bordam. She already liked him on the flight, but now she has fallen in love with him. What she doesn't know is that Bordam is actually a prince traveling anonymously and is already engaged to Princess Irina. However, when he learns later in the story that Erika is ill, he drops everything to visit her immediately. She feels better in his presence and both spend a wonderful, harmonious time in Italy. What started out as a little love has now turned into a big love.
However, when Erika finds out who Bordum really is and that he is already engaged, she drops all thoughts of him and wants nothing to do with him anymore. However, he has also fallen in love with Erika and is now leaving his past behind in order to spend the future together with Erika.
