An Original Vintage German Film Program (measures 8 3/4" x 11 1/2" [22 x 29 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Der Dunkle Punkt (literally translates to "The Dark Spot"), the 1940 Georg Zoch German comedy starring Jupp Hussels, Ludwig Schmitz, Mady Rahl, Lina Carstens, and Albert Florath. 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. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" item for this German movie! Note that included with the program is a 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" "autograph card" that has a picture of Mady Rahl on it (autograph cards were sent to theaters where the stars would make personal appearances, and members of the audience would get the stars to autograph them if they could, but of course, the cards themselves did not come autographed!). Often, the theaters would cut four slits in the upper left of the front cover and insert the "autograph card" into that area, and this is in no way a defect (and actually it is quite rare to find the programs with the "autograph card" still attached!). In the case of this program, it did NOT have slits cut on the cover and the card is loose within the program. Also 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 8 pages, and can well determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are 4 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 to very good. The program was folded across the center and there is pencil writing in the forehead of the man at right. The postcard has glue stains on the back.
