Birth 13 may 1935 (88 years) at Bern (Suisse)

Linda Geiser (born 13 May 1935) is a Swiss film and television actress best known for her role in the Swiss TV series Lüthi und Blanc as Johanna Blanc.

Having attended acting school and learned English in Berne, Geiser moved to America in 1961 and lived in New York, where she established herself in theatre. In 1964, she made a controversial appearance in Sidney Lumet's The Pawnbroker by playing a scene in which she fully exposed her breasts. At the time, this contravened the Motion Picture Production Code and it was one of the earliest instances of a nude scene in a mainstream film.

With the rise of Hitler, Sol Nazerman (Steiger), a German-Jewish university professor, was dragged to a concentration camp along with his family. He saw his two children die (one while riding in a cattle car) and his wife raped by Nazi officers in the camp. Now he operates a pawnshop in East Harlem, while living in an anonymous Long Island apartment. Numbed by his experiences, he has worked hard not to experience emotions. Nazerman is bitter and alienated, viewing the people around him as "rejects, scum." He is shown interacting cynically as he bargains with the many desperate characters pawning their goods.

Uli est valet de ferme à la ferme Boden. C'est un garçon négligent, dépensier et trousseur de jupons. Sermonné par son maître, il comprend enfin que s'il veut échapper à sa condition misérable, il faut qu'il change d'attitude. Il tourne alors le dos à la servante Anneliesi et à ses compagnons de beuverie et se met à travailler dur. Sa réputation s'améliore à tel point que le vieux Joggeli l'engage comme maître-valet dans sa ferme de Giungge, où règne le chaos. Uli ne craint pas d'user de la manière forte et peu à peu il parvient à rétablir l'ordre. Il s'éprend par ailleurs de la douce Vreneli, enfant illégitime et parente éloignée de son patron. Mais la fille de ce dernier, Elisi, veille au grain et ne tarde pas à le détourner de la jeune fille en lui faisant miroiter un futur enviable de propriétaire... pour peu qu'il l'épouse.
