Fast-paced, entertaining fun with a mixture of high drama, exciting stunts and a large pinch of humor. The event is accompanied live by Günter Buchwald (piano, violin) and Frank Bockius (drums).
Director: Max Obal | Germany | 1930 | N/C PG | b&w | German intertitles with English surtitles | 1h 28m
Former circus-performer Luciano Albertini shines as a debonair stowaway who teams up with droll side-kick Carlos to track down a band of duplicitous villains. The duo’s mysterious mission takes them from cruise-liner, to steam train, high-rise buildings and speeding car, along the gorgeous backdrop of the Dalmatian coast. Our hero: Italian-born actor, producer, director and ex-strongman Albertini, is given ample opportunity to show off his muscular agility and winning star persona. Little-known today, Albertini was considered a cast-iron box-office draw in the ‘twenties, whose athletic prowess and Latin looks reputedly induced fervent admiration amongst his international fanbase.
Performing live: Günter Buchwald (piano, violin), Frank Bockius (percussion)
