An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded German Movie Poster (measures 33 3/4" x 48 1/2" [86 x 123 cm]) (Learn More) Die Affare Rodern (literally translates to "The Rodern Affair"), the 1944 Erich Waschneck German historical romantic war melodrama (set during the Seven Years War and at the court of Frederick the Great) starring Paul Hartmann (in the title role as Festungsbaumeister Dietrich von Roedern), Annelies Reinhold, Clementia Egies, Rudolf Fernau, Karl Dannemann, Franz Schafheitlin, and Herbert Hubner. 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. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Jaddatz Important Added Info: Note that movie paper from this film is incredibly rare. We have only auctioned a few German programs for this movie but no other movie paper items from it until we were consigned this poster (which is a "country of origin" poster for this German movie!). It was printed in Germany during World War II. There are very few German movie posters from during World War II in existence (because of the massive paper shortages in Germany during World War II), and most of those few are in museums. It is likely that German posters from during the Nazi era are even more rare than those from before that era, because most of those that survived the war would have been destroyed right after the war! Condition: very good. The poster has some fairly minor fold and border wear and some darkening on the back of the upper left of the poster (which was on the outside when it was fully folded), but it doesn't affect the front. But this incredibly rare poster has likely survived in about as good condition as one could have hoped! Learn More about condition grades
