The Mistress of the Governor (German: Die Geliebte des Gouverneurs) is a 1927 German silent historical drama film directed by Friedrich Feher and starring Magda Sonja, Fritz Kortner and Otto Wallburg.[1] It was shot at the Staaken Studios in Berlin. The film's art direction was by Max Knaake. Although based on the life of Draga Mašin, to avoid offending Yugoslavian sensibilities, the final version was set in a vague pre-revolution Russia. It is nonetheless sometimes referred to as Draga Maschin.[2]
