An Original Vintage Austrian Film Program (measures 6" x 9" [15 x 23 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) S.O.S. Eisberg, the 1933 Arnold Fanck German/U.S. Greenland airplane aviation plane crash disaster adventure thriller (based on the real life story of the Wegener polar expedition of 1929-30, in which most of the people died, and this movie imagines that a female aviator, based on Amelia Earhart, and played by Riefenstahl, flies a plane to try to rescue them and crashes into an iceberg, stranding her along with the members of the expedition, and native Eskimos paddle to them in kayaks and rescue them!) starring Gustav Diessl, Leni Riefenstahl, Sepp Rist, Ernst Udet, Gibson Gowland, and Dr. Max Holsboer. Note that there is both this German language version and also an English language version of this movie that were filmed at the exact same time. The main difference between the two versions is that Tay Garnett directed the English language version, which starred Rod La Rocque, and that Arnold Fanck directed the German language version, which starred Gustav Diessl, but Leni Riefenstahl and most of the other cast members appeared in both versions. Other movies from around this time had both German and English language versions, most notably "The Blue Angel". The rise to power of the Nazi party (and their policies) brought an end to these co-productions. Note that Arnold Fanck was a German director who loved skiing and made many "mountain films" that included skiing sequences. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
