Screening on Film

Directed by Erwin Leiser.

This absorbing documentary on the German motion picture industry and its use as a tool for propaganda was produced by the great German film historian Erwin Leiser. Among the many feature film excerpts included are Dawn (1933), Jud Süss (1940), The Rothschilds (1940), and The Great King (1942).
