Auction History Result 6d370 LOWLANDS Austrian program '54 Leni Riefenstahl's Tiefland, which she also stars in! Date Sold 3/29/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Austrian Film Program (measures 6 1/2" x 9 1/2" [17 x 24 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) Tiefland (released in the U.S. as "Lowlands"), the 1954 Leni Riefenstahl Austrian/German gypsy romantic love triangle melodrama (based on the work by Eugen d'Albert) starring Leni Riefenstahl, Maria Koppenhofer, Franz Eichberger, Luis Rainer, and Bernhard Minetti. Note that this is a VERY unusual movie! It was Riefenstahl's first movie after Olympiad (both parts), and she began filming in 1940. It concerned gypsies in a mythical gypsy province of Spain with a power crazed leader who abuses his power (and the comparisons to Hitler are obvious). Riefenstahl used real gypsies in the movie, and she rescued most of her cast from concentration camps. The movie was not finished, and the film was seized by the Allies. After World War II, Riefenstahl spent years trying to prove she was not a Nazi sympathizer (difficult to do, to say the least!), but she managed to do so, and in 1953, she was able to locate the footage of this movie that had been shot. She could not use her original cast, since most of them had died in concentration camps, but she managed to finish the film and it was given its first release in 1954, and she never made another movie until 2003, when she made a single documentary!

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 to fine. Learn More about condition grades
