Ferdinand Lassalle - The People's Tribunes Glück und Ende is a German silent film about the life of Ferdinand Lassalle .

action

His youth in Leipzig and Breslau, his trial and political career as well as his death in a duel are shown.

background

The literary template was provided by the novel Ferdinand Lassalle by Alfred Schirokauer , published in 1912 . It was produced by Meinert-Film Bürstein & Janak Berlin. The shooting took place from May to July 1918.

Its original length was six files at 2,250 meters, about 110 minutes. The Berlin police banned him in September 1918 with a youth ban (No. 42223). Obviously, extensive cuts were required, so that the film was seven acts in the end, but only at 1,907 meters, about 93 minutes.

A press performance took place on October 13, 1918 in the Tauentzien-Palast Berlin, the world premiere in front of a paying audience on October 25, 1918 in the Kammerlichtspiele Berlin. The Reich Film Censorship in Berlin renewed the youth ban (No. 5131) on February 1, 1922.

criticism

Egon Jacobsohn writes, "The [press] presentation itself was a good success" and praises Meinert's directorial work and the equipment. No style violation, no temporal impossibility or direction errors could be discovered. Kaiser-Titze's performance is also praised and he is called “an actor, in contrast to many of his competitors”.
