Marie-Louise is a 1944 Swiss drama film directed by Leopold Lindtberg and Franz Schnyder and written by Richard Schweizer. Set during the Second World War, it follows a 12-year-old French girl sent to Switzerland to recover from the effects of wartime bombing. In 1946, Schweizer won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for the film, and Marie-Louise became the first non-English-language film to receive an Oscar.
