An Original Vintage German Film Program (measures 8 3/4" x 11 1/2" [22 x 29 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Salto Mortale (literally translates to "Deadly Jump" or "Fatal Jump"), the 1931 E.A. Dupont French/German circus trapeze romantic love triangle melodrama (about three trapeze performers in a circus who perform an extremely dangerous stunt, and it is complicated greatly by the fact that the two male performers are both in love with the female, setting up the potential for murder in the air) starring Anna Sten, Anton Walbrook (billed under his given name of Adolf Wohlbruck), Reinhold Bernt, Otto Wallburg, and Kurt Gerron. Note that if this movie seems extremely familiar, it is with good reason! Not only did director E.A. Dupont previousy have his greatest success with "Variety" (which had a different plot, but which was set in a circus and had three trapeze artists in a love triangle), but also this movie was simultaneously filmed in both this German version, and also in an French version (Dupont directed both, but this German version starred then-unknown to U.S. audiences Anna Sten and Anton Walbrook, and the French version starred Gina Manes and Daniel Mendaille). Then, in 1953, there was a German remake of this movie, and in the same year, an English language version was made called "Man on a Tightrope". Then, just three years later, the entire plot was "borrowed" for the classic circus movie, "Trapeze", starring Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis, and Gina Lollobrigida!
