Peter Lorre - Der Weisse Damon / Stupéfiants (1932).

Peter Lorre & Gerda Maurus - Der Weisse Damon. (You'll see Gerda with Peter again in 1933's Unsichtbare Gegner.)

Plot: A drug dealer gets a rising young female singer addicted to drugs. Her brother decides to hunt him down in revenge.

This movie has both German and French versions:

Der Weisse Damon (The White Demon) was directed by Kurt Gerron, starring Hans Albers, Gerda Maurus and Peter Lorre as "the Hunchback."

Stupéfiants (Narcotics) was also directed by Kurt Gerron, and stars Jean Murat, Danièle Parola - and Peter Lorre as "Le bossu."

The above clip is from Stupéfiants because in terms of crispness of film, the French version is of better quality than the German.

Lorre is speaking French; he is not dubbed in.

ドイツの暗いムードのタイムトラベルドラマ。

ドイツの原発のある小さな街で起こった子供の失踪事件から始まる、3世代にわたる4家族が時代を行ったり来たりする話なんだけど、時々家系図見たくなるけれど、話の展開が暗く面白いからやめられないで観てしまう。

中毒性高い！

シーズン1は、4つの家族の紹介と単純な33年前、66年前の過去に図らずも行くことになってしまうキャラクターと、言って帰ってくるキャラクター。

シーズン2は、そこにアダムという謎の黒幕が出てきたり、謎めいた人物たちの正体が明かされ、さらにその過去の過去から未来までが関わってきてタイムトラベルに深みが増し

シーズン3は、別次元から来たキャラクターに、エヴァ(イブ)まで現れ話がより一層複雑になってからの締めくくりにぎゅっと話が展開していく。

意外とこういうドラマって「人多すぎるー」「話複雑すぎるー」ってわけわかんなくなりがちだけど、整理されてて面白い。

ハマりやすいので、時間ある時に一気見がお勧めです。じゃないと家系図片手にドラマ観なくちゃならなくなるw

暗く、複雑な群像劇が好きな人へ❤️

Peter Lorre as the Pawnbroker in Georg Kaiser’s Nebeneinander (Side by Side, September 1931), with Ilse Fürstenberg.

Peter’s “facial expressions gave, according to one reviewer, ‘good insight into one driven by demons.’” Source

Peter was so transformative. When you contrast even just this picture to his other 1931 works like “M” and “Die Koffer des Herrn O.F.”, he’s really quite astounding in his versatility.

More about the play: “With this play, [German dramatist] Kaiser moved away from the Expressionism of his previous works. Utilizing a more rounded characterization and more realistic curt, comic dialogue to tell a light-hearted story of an idealistic pawnbroker caught up in the hyperinflation afflicting Germany at the time (the currency stabilization came a fortnight after the play opened), the play inaugurated the 'new sobriety' (Neue Sachlichkeit) in the drama.” Wiki

Are audio/radio dramas for children not a common thing in other countries??????

I spent 90% of my childhood listening to audio dramas of Die fünf Freunde(Famous five), Hanni & Nanni (St. Clare's), TKKG and many more while playing with Legos or drawing or whatever.

What did all of you do if radio dramas aren't as widespread???? Sit in silence?????

A N D apparently you're allowed to just....make stories up for radio dramas???

Hanni & Nanni originally only consists of 6 books by Enid Blyton and 2 by Pamela Cox.

Do you know how many audio dramas there are in Germany????

76 episodes.

There are 22 Famous five books.

There are 157 audio dramas.

Are you telling me the rest of the world did not grow up listening to these adventures???? Y'all were robbed.
