An Original Vintage German Film Program (measures 8" x 9" [20 x 23 cm]; 6 pages) (Learn More) Wunschkonzert (literally translates to "Wish Concert"), 1940 Eduard von Borsody German World War II (WWII) Home Front Nazi romantic musical melodrama (about two soldiers and their loved ones back home) starring Ilse Werner (she initially turned down this role, and then it made her a star, but it cost her, because in 1945, she was blacklisted from movies, but eventually she resumed making movies), Carl Raddatz, Heinz Goedecke, Joachim Brennecke, and Ida Wust. Note that this is a "forbidden" movie. This refers to around 60 movies that were made in Germany between 1933 and 1945, during the time the Nazis were in power in Germany. These movies are considered to be propaganda movies, which glorify the Nazi regime and their ideals. Immediately after World War II, a list of over 100 movies that were made between 1933 and 1945 was created, and those movies were not allowed to be shown at any time in Germany or Austria. Over the next decade, around 60 of those movies (including this one) were taken off the list so that they are allowed to be shown (but rarely are), and those movies are known as "forbidden movies", because even though they can now be shown, they could not be shown at all in the years right after World War II. The remaining 40 or so movies are known as "conditional" movies, because they are still not allowed to be shown in Germany or Austria, even in the present day, with the sole exception being when they are shown in an educational context, like at a university, and a speaker talks before and after the movie. All of the "forbidden" movies and "conditional" movies glorify Nazism in some respect, or they were created by directors or featured actors who were prominently associated with the Nazi party. It appears this movie was never released in the U.S. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" item for this German movie! Note that this program was published by Das Programm von Heute, a different type of program that is far more rare than the regularly seen German programs. The program has six pages, but it is printed on a large single sheet that is tri-folded (we have photographed both sides of the program completely unfolded). Condition: good. The program has two punch holes in the center of the left of the cover and in the corresponding area on the interior pages, because the program was stored in a 2-ring binder. There are four small diagonal razor cuts in the front cover. This is NOT a defect, because these programs were distributed with "Ross autograph cards", which would be inserted into the slits, and then given out at showings where that star appeared in person, and the attendees could try to get that star's autograph on the card. This program does NOT have a Ross autograph card (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
