Doris Dörrie
Dorrie had made documentaries and a fine medium-length fiction film, "The First Waltz" (1977), before directing her first feature, the highly assured "Straight Through the Heart," in 1983. A witty psychodrama involving an insecure young woman and an equally insecure older man, it was followed two years later by the international success "Men," another--though more lighthearted--look at male-female role playing.
