Mysterious Depth is an Austrian post-war film with Ilse Werner and Paul Hubschmid, in which a young woman between an idealistic cavers and a rich industrialist can not decide.
Background
The exterior shots were taken in the Dachstein Ice Caves and the Hermannshöhle / Kirchberg am Wechsel. The film was regarded by its poor reception as lost, then 1992 copies at the Cinémathèque Française were rediscovered. Pabst took effect as a director of the deep, bizarre caves aware as a metaphor to describe the psychological depths and mysteries of the human soul.
Action
Dr. Wittich is an avid cave explorer who spends more time on his research as to devote himself to his fiancée Cornelia. Therefore, this applies to the rich industrialist Roy, whom she eventually marries even. But her heart really belongs to the researcher and so it pulls them back to him. When they finally penetrate together in the Pyrenees in a cave system and its "mysterious depths ," they come to it.
Reviews

Mysterious Depth is a movie with obvious weaknesses: kitsch and cheap pathos, a Threepenny dispute; but it contained pictures of downright unsettling imagery, Thomas Brandl Meier wrote in epd Film
