An Original 1934 (from the first release of this movie in Sweden) Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Swedish Stolpe (referred to by some as a "Swedish insert") Movie Poster (measures 13 1/4" x 25 3/4") (Learn More) Johnny stiehlt Europa (released in English-speaking countries as "Johnny Steals Europe"), the 1932 Harry Piel German melodrama (based on the novel by Walter Scheff) starring Alfred Abel, Harry Piel, Dary Holm, Carl Balhaus, Walter Steinbeck, and Margarete Sachse. Note that director Harry Piel was a major figure in early cinema. He wrote and directed his first movie when he was just 20 years old in 1912, and he made several movies over the next three years, and then began acting in them as well! He made many movies over the next decades. In 1933, he joined the Nazi party and made movies for them. In 1934, he made Der Herr der Welt, a science fiction movie with robots, but he had actually used robots in a movie he made in 1915! At the end of World War II, he was sentenced to 6 months in jail and banned from the film industry for 5 years. In 1950, he started a new film company, but did not have much success, and he retired in 1953 and passed away in 1961. Unfortunately, almost all the negatives of his silent films were destroyed when Germany was bombed during World War II, so few of his films survive, and that, combined with his Nazi collaboration, has caused him to be largely forgotten, except by major film buffs.
