Wilhelm Dieterle – Das Geheimnis des Abbé X AKA Behind the Altar (1927)

Cine-Gazzettino, 23 September 1929 wrote:
Wilhelm Dieterle’s strong and manly art and Marcella Albani’s suave charm intermingle here in a splendid natural setting, to depict a drama where love and duty, compassion and hate, purity and crime merge together in a very interesting story.

Das Geheinis des Abbe X was the second film directed by popular German matinée idol Wilhelm Dieterle, and the first production of his new company, Charha-Film, which he founded with his wife, actress and scenarist Charlotte Hagenbuch. The restoration of the film is being based upon a b/w nitrate print with French intertitles from the Cinémathèque Royale, an 8-reel safety negative made from a nitrate print with German intertitles from Gosfilmofond, and an incomplete b/w acetate print and negative with Czech titles from the Berlin Bundesarchiv, which was made from a b/w nitrate print from the Prague archive. The Russian and the Berlin prints were filmed in the same way; scenes of the Brussels copy were often shot from a slightly different angle. The film’s original German intertitles will be reconstituited using the Gosfilmofond material and the German censorship cards of the trailer conserved by Koblenz Bundesarchiv
