Miss Universe 1929 - Lisl Goldarbeiter. A Queen in Wien (2006)

Filmmaker Péter Forgács' engrossing documentary -- culled from home movies spanning eight decades -- chronicles the life of Austrian beauty queen Lisl Goldarbeiter: the first Miss Universe. Following her during her pageant days and through an imprudent marriage, the film also serves as a slice of European history, a diary of Jewish life under the Nazis and an unfolding love story between Lisl and her smitten cousin, Marci Tenczer.
