An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 18" [30 x 46 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) Die Gefangene des Maharadscha (released in the U.S. in 1956 as "Circus Girl"), the 1954 Veit Harlan German India romantic circus adventure thriller ("Romance for three on the high trapeze!"; "In Gorgeous Color") starring Kristina Soederbaum (Veit Harlan's wife!), Willy Birgel, Rene Deltgen, Adrian Hoven, and Rolf von Nauckhoff. 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. This movie appears to be a fairly standard romantic melodrama set in India, and yet when it was released in the U.S. in 1956 (two years later), it was re-titled "Circus Girl" (so we don't know if additional footage was shot or if the movie was re-cut, or if the American title was just very misleading.) If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
