An Original Vintage German Film Program (measures 9" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Die Yacht Der Sieben Sunden (released in the U.S. as "Yacht of the Seven Sins"), the 1928 Jacob Fleck & Luise Fleck German silent ocean cruise crime melodrama starring Brigitte Helm (best remembered for her starring role in Fritz Lang's "Metropolis"), John Stuart, Rina Marsa, Kurt Vespermann, and Hugo Werner-Kahle. Note that the movie was made by husband and wife Jacob and Luise Fleck. Although completely forgotten today, except by major film buffs, the Flecks were major figures in the super early history of the cinema. Luise Fleck was born in Vienna in 1873, the daughter of Louis Veltee, who ran a panopticon (a semi-circular theater), and in 1910, she married Anton Kolm, and together with her brother and their cameraman, Jacob Fleck, they set up the first film production company in Austria. They made short documentaries, some directed by Louise, who is considered the second female film director (after French Alice Guy-Blache). During World War I, they made newsreels, but in the economic collapse in Austria after World War I, the company went bankrupt. They started a new company, but in 1922, Anton, Luise's husband, died, and she soon married Jacob Fleck. They worked for German production companies including UFA over the next decade, but when Hitler took power, they returned to Austria because Jacob Fleck was Jewish. However, in 1938, when the Nazis took control of Austria, Jacob Fleck was sent to the Dachau Concentration Camp. He was released in 1940, and the couple were exiled to Shanghai, where they helped make movies there. After the war, they returned to Austria, hoping to start a new film studio, and that did not happen, but they made a few movies. Luise died in 1950, and Jacob died in 1953.

Note that we have provided an image of four of the pages of this 8-page program (we did this by opening it and laying it flat and photographing the front and back cover together, and two of the interior pages together). You can see the four of the eight pages, and can well determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are four pages you are not seeing. 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: good to very good. The covers are mostly separated at the spine. Learn More about condition grades
