The Countess of Monte Cristo (German: Die Gräfin von Monte-Christo) is a 1932 German comedy drama film directed by Karl Hartl and starring Brigitte Helm, Rudolf Forster and Lucie Englisch.

[1] The film's sets were designed by the art directors Robert Herlth and Walter Röhrig.

It was shot at the Babelsberg Studios outside Berlin and on location in Vienna and the ski resort of Semmering.

Two struggling actresses are hired as extras to drive an expensive car while dressed in fancy outfits.

Stopping at a winter resort, one of them is mistakenly identified as the "Countess of Monte Cristo", a VIP guest expected to arrive around this time.
