An Original Vintage German Film Program (measures 5 3/4" x 8 1/2" [15 x 22 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) Alarmstufe V (literally translates to "Alert V"), the 1941 Alois Johannes Lippl German romantic crime sabotage melodrama (the movie is remarkably similar to Alfred Hitchcock's "Saboteur", made the next year, because the plot concerns a young man who is falsely accused of sabotage and tries to find the real saboteur to clear himself) starring Ernst von Klipstein, Heli Finkenzeller, Charlotte Dalys, Bruno Hubner, Albert Lippert, and Viktor Afritsch. Note that this is a "forbidden" movie. This refers to around 60 movies that were made in Germany between 1933 and 1945, during the time the Nazis were in power in Germany. These movies are considered to be propaganda movies, which glorify the Nazi regime and their ideals. Immediately after World War II, a list of over 100 movies that were made between 1933 and 1945 was created, and those movies were not allowed to be shown at any time in Germany or Austria. Over the next decade, around 60 of those movies (including this one) were taken off the list so that they are allowed to be shown (but rarely are), and those movies are known as "forbidden movies", because even though they can now be shown, they could not be shown at all in the years right after World War II. The remaining 40 or so movies are known as "conditional" movies, because they are still not allowed to be shown in Germany or Austria, even in the present day, with the sole exception being when they are shown in an educational context, like at a university, and a speaker talks before and after the movie. All of the "forbidden" movies and "conditional" movies glorify Nazism in some respect, or they were created by directors or featured actors who were prominently associated with the Nazi party. It appears this movie was never released in the U.S. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that original movie paper of any sort from this movie is extremely rare (at this time, there was a huge paper shortage in Germany, and the German programs which had been 8 pages were printed as 4-page programs, and virtually nothing survives from this movie's first release). Note that this is a "country of origin" item for this German movie! Also note that we have provided an image of all the pages of this 4-page program (we did this by opening it and laying it flat and photographing the front and back cover together, and the interior two pages together). This way, you see the entire program, and can well determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image. But of course this means that the front cover appears in the top right of our image, but normally, the program would be folded down the center and you would view the cover by itself (and it will be sent folded as was originally intended). Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
