Schildert Graf seine Hauptfigur als herrisches, hartherziges Weib, das rücksichtlos seine Ziele verfolgt, ist Baiers Gretl eine Frau, "mit der man mitempfinden kann. Also habe ich ihr eine Geschichte gegeben, habe sie in ein 'feindliches' Umfeld gestellt."

Jo Baier has made the story of Hölleisengretl into a TV film that ZDF is showing on Easter Sunday at 9.45pm. Portraying Graf's main character as an imperious, hard-hearted woman who pursues her goal with ruthlessness, Baier's Gretl is a woman "with whom one can sympathise. I have given her a story which has put her in a hostile environment." This environment is a village world, in which a woman who manages a magnificent estate alone is treated with suspicion. However, Gretl's married bliss only lasts a short time. Her husband, it soon transpires, is only interested in her property. Martina Gedeck plays the title role in this production, Hubert Achleitner, better known under his stage name Hubert von Goisern, Michael Lerchenberg, Josef Wierer, Enzi Fuchs and Fred Stillkrauth are to be seen in further roles.
