Auction History Result 4e618 GREAT SACRIFICE German 9x12 movie still '44 Kristina Soderbaum, cool spotted Great Dane! Date Sold 3/12/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical German 9 1/2" x 12" Movie Still (Learn More) Opfergang (apparently released in England after the war as "The Great Sacrifice", but apparently not released in the U.S.), the 1944 Veit Harlan German romantic melodrama starring Kristina Soderbaum (the wife of director Veit Harlan, and she starred in most of his movies after they were married), Irene von Meyendorff, Carl Raddatz, Franz Schafheitlin, Otto Tressler, Annemarie Steinsieck, and Ernst Stahl-Nachbaur. Note that director Veit Harlan was one of the most infamous of the Nazi film directors, directing Jud Suss and many other virulent anti-Jewish Nazi movies during World War II. After the war, almost ALL of his movies were banned, not just the anti-Jewish ones, and he was put on trial for war crimes. But in 1950, after several trials, he was set free, and in 1951, he resumed making movies, making a dozen of them until his passing in 1964. Note that this is one of the few Veit Harlan movies that was not banned, likely because it was a non-political, non-controversial romantic melodrama. It was even shown in Sweden on its first release in 1944. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
