Auction History Result 3t382 WAYS TO STRENGTH AND BEAUTY German program book '25 nude Leni Riefenstahl in her 1st movie! Date Sold 12/14/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical German Movie Program Book (pb; measures 6" x 9 1/2" [15 x 24 cm]; 36 pages) (Learn More) Wege zu Kraft und Schonheit - Ein Film uber moderne Korperkultur (released in other English-speaking countries as "Ways to Strength and Beauty"), the 1925 Wilhem Prager German silent naturist documentary featuring Leni Riefenstahl (in her very first film appearance!), Jenny Hasselqvist, Josef Holub, and archive footage of Jack Dempsey and Johnny Weissmuller. Note that this is a REALLY wild movie, even beyond it being Riefenstahl's first appearance (and she's naked!). The movie predates the American "naturalist" craze of the early 1930s by around six years, and it pretends to be a sort of "nudist" documentary, extolling the virtues of life without clothes, and it shows lots of teenagers and young adults dancing and playing sports in the nude, and of course, most people's interest in seeing the movie was watching all the naked people! Riefenstahl is not credited, but she plays one of the nude dancers in the movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before seen this "country of origin" program book for Leni Riefenstahl's first movie. It has lots of images from the film, plus three long essays, two by doctors and one by another man. We have pictured the cover and many of the interior pages, but we wish we could have pictured them all! Also note that this item contains images of unclothed women, so we have placed white bars over those areas, for those who are bothered by such images. Of course, the actual item does not have those white bars! Condition: very good. The program was lightly folded down the middle at one time. Someone put a piece of clear tape down the spine. Otherwise, the program is in pretty nice condition, and it is not at all fragile. Learn More about condition grades
