An Original Vintage German Film Program (measures 8" x 9" [20 x 23 cm]; 6 pages) (Learn More) Der Zerbrochene Krug (released in English-speaking countries as "The Broken Jug"), the 1937 Gustav Ucicky & Emil Jannings German judicial legal law melodrama (about a judge in a small town who gets drunk one night, and stumbles into the home of a beautiful woman who is with her lover, and he not only gets beaten, but he also breaks a valuable jug and loses his judicial wig, and the next day, he must go to court where everybody is talking about the incident of the night before, not realizing he was the intruder!; based on the play by Heinrich von Kleist with the screenplay written by Thea von Harbou) starring Emil Jannings, Angela Salloker, Elisabeth Flickenschildt, Paul Dahlke, Friedrich Kayssler, and Max Gulstorff. Note that this is a "forbidden" movie. This refers to 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 many 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, some 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.

Note that this program was published by Das Programm von Heute, a different type of program that is far more rare than the regularly seen German programs. The program has six pages, but it is printed on a large single sheet that is tri-folded (we have photographed both sides of the program completely unfolded). Condition: very good. There are four small diagonal razor cuts in the front cover. This is NOT a defect, because these programs were distributed with "Ross autograph cards", which would be inserted into the slits, and then given out at showings where that star appeared in person, and the attendees could try to get that star's autograph on the card. This program does NOT have a Ross autograph card (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
