An Original Vintage Austrian Film Program (measures 6" x 9" [15 x 23 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Die 3 Groschen-Oper (released in the U.S. as "The 3 Penny Opera" and "The Threepenny Opera"), the 1931 G.W. Pabst (Georg Wilhelm Pabst) German musical romantic crime melodrama starring Rudolf Forster (as Mackie Messer/Mack the Knife), Carola Neher (as Polly), Reinhold Schunzel, Fritz Rasp, Valeska Gert, and Lotte Lenya (billed as "Lotte Lenja"; as Jenny). This was a German version of "The Threepenny Opera" made by Warner Bros. in 1931. Universal did the same thing with "Dracula" in 1931. They filmed the movie twice, once in English, and once in Spanish, with two entirely different casts, U.S. actors for the English version and mostly Latin actors for the Spanish version, obviously for release in Spanish speaking countries, and the same was done with this movie, except this movie was released in German and French (the French language version, "L'opera de quat'sous", starred Albert Prejean and Florelle). Interestingly, although Warner Bros. apparently financed this movie, they did not create an English language version, perhaps because it was considered too daring for American audiences (they solely released it undubbed in German in the U.S. in 1933, two years after it was made!). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that original movie paper of any sort from this title is INCREDIBLY scarce! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of four of the pages of this 8-page program (we did this by opening it and laying it flat and photographing the front and back cover together, and two of the interior pages together). You can see the four of the eight pages, and can well determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are four pages you are not seeing. But of course this means that the front cover appears in the top right of our image, but normally, the program would be folded down the center and you would view the cover by itself (and it will be sent folded as was originally intended). Condition: good. The program has two punch holes in the center of the left of the cover and in the corresponding area on the interior pages, because the program was stored in a 2-ring binder.
