Synopsis:

‘Pietro Ponz lives a happy life in the mountains on the Swiss-Italian border with his mother Lamberta. No one but his mother knows that Pietro is a girl, a deception that Lamberta was forced into by a series of tragedies almost twenty years previously. Not long after her husband Joseph Ponz died, Lamberta also lost her fragile infant son, Pietro. Whilst mourning this double loss, she began an affair with Bolzano, a notorious smuggler. After Bolzano was killed by the customs men, Lamberta gave birth to his child, a little girl that she decided to pass off as her son Pietro, in the hope of securing an inheritance from her husband’s wealthy parents. Now that Pietro is fast coming of age, his tutor and grandmother are adamant that he should be sent to a religious school. Pietro escapes from the school and joins a gang of smugglers…’
– James Travers

‘The daughter of a notorious smuggler, Pietro is raised as a boy by her […] mother. The “young man” is befriended by young mountain-climber Calix, who is in for quite an education when he spots Pietro in her birthday suit.’
– uniFrance

The post Karl Grune – Die Brüder Schellenberg aka Two Brothers (1926) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis:
A biographical film of Otto von Bismarck, the Prime Minister of Prussia, and how he and his policies – including aggressive war – helped to unite Germany.

Review:
The film is reasonably true to the facts, but portrays Bismarck unconditionally as an unbreakable hero who serves his king and fights against democracy, the parliament, the press, foreign powers and so on. It is a 100% propaganda film of the worst kind featuring every anti-liberal cliché you can imagine. However it’s pretty remarkable how extensively this film discusses politics and political schemes, essentially it’s two hours of political talk, but nevertheless quite engrossing.
