Carl Ballhaus

В фильме рассказывается история жизни Луизы Отто Петерс, которая в середине XIX века в Германии впервые подняла голос протеста против несправедливого отношения к женщине, к её труду. Она создала первую в Германии «Женскую газету». Дочь знаменитого адвоката, Луиза легко могла устроить свою жизнь, выйдя замуж за богатого барона Родерна. Но она избрала другую цель жизни — борьбу за равноправие женщин. Своими статьями и публичными выступлениями она завоевала авторитет и уважение простых людей.

Helmut Spieß

Биографический фильм о хирурге и городском враче в Хайльбронне Юлиусе Роберте Майере (1814-1878), который много лет изучал тепло и был первым, кто правильно сформулировал основные принципы теории механического тепла и принцип сохранения энергии. Конкурирующие прусские учёные смеются над ним, а его жизнь полна недоразумений и преследований. Фильм, посвящён памяти этого великого немецкого натуралиста, рассказывает о его судьбе, а также о его долгой и тщетной борьбе за признание результатов его научной работы.

Helmut Weiss
Heinz Rühmann, Karin Himboldt
Die Feuerzangenbowle from Director Helmut Weiss is based on the novel by the same name from Heinrich Spoerl and Hans Reimann that has turned into a cult German film.

The Punch Bowl
D III 88
Hans Bertram, Herbert Maisch
Christian Kayßler, Otto Wernicke
Across German screens at the outbreak of WWII streaks "DIII88: The New German Air Force Attacks", an aeronautic and maritime spectacle glorifying Hermann Goring's Luftwaffe and the spirit of the newly arisen Germany. Once war became imminent, Joseph Goebbels instructed the German film industry to initiate production of numerous militaristic projects, but DIII88 was initiated by the Propaganda Minister's rival, Goring, who commissioned several aviation pictures. DIII88 is not a war picture per se, because it takes place in peacetime, but the young, fresh-faced air aces enthusiastically look forward to the coming war. The propaganda is blatant: The only thing that matters is dedication to duty and unconditional commitment to the Fatherland.

Georg Wildhagen
Angelika Hauff, Willi Domgraf-Fassbaender

Georg Jacoby
Marika Rökk, Wolfgang Lukschy
Blonde goddess Marika Rökk plays Julia Koster, a ravishing red-headed musical revue star and her opening number, "At Night It Isn't Right To Be Alone", playing to a packed theater, is both an eye-popper and a jaw-dropper.

Das tapfere Schneiderlein
Helmut Spieß
Kurt Schmidtchen, Christel Bodenstein
When Prince Vain got his shirt fixed, he proclaims that he had slain two lizards in front of the tailor's house - "two in one strike".

Robert Koch, der Bekämpfer des Todes
Hans Steinhoff
Emil Jannings, Werner Krauß
Country Dr. Robert Koch is desperate: a tuberculosis epidemic is decimating the children in his district and no one is able to do anything about it. Every fourth child is already sick and the parents must helplessly watch as their young ones die. Now Koch is undertaking to find the cause of the tuberculosis --- something he has already been working on for years --- which has been causing this plague of illness. His work is made more difficult by envy; for example, that of his teacher, who was wounded defending his honor. But his greatest obstacle is the famous Berliner scientist and Reichstag deputy, Privy Councilor Rudolf Virchow: He is extraordinarily skeptical of Koch's theory, that the cause for tuberculosis is a bacteria.
