...But I Was a Girl: The Story of Frieda Belinfante plot

Portrait of Frieda Belinfante (1904-1995), the first female conductor of the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and later of an orchestra in Orange in the United States. Born into a family of musicians, Belinfante developed into a controversial personality due to her homosexuality and strong will. Because of her activities in the resistance during the Second World War, she fled to Switzerland. After the war, Belinfante emigrated to the United States where she continued her musical career in the Hollywood studios and founded her own symphony orchestra with only Hollywood musicians.
