Curt Oertel

Journeyman craftsman Paul Paulsen is in his third year of traveling and lives far from his North German homeland in a small village in Central Germany. During a winter storm, he sees a young woman near his door, demanding entry to the prison, but being turned away by the warden. Paul follows the woman and takes her to his landlady's apartment. He recognizes her as Lisei, the daughter of a puppeteer, whom he had met twelve years earlier. He looks back.

The life and works of Michelangelo are presented by German actor Mathias Wieman, in the the historical context of the High Renaissance era. A much re-edited American version was released in 1950 – The Titan: Story of Michelangelo.

The life and works of the great artist Michelangelo Buonarroti are shown against the historical background of his time. Comprises his earliest artworks, and follows his life and career as he achieves lasting fame, and includes detailed looks at some of the artist's most renowned creations. A heavily re-edited cut of Curt Oertel's film Michelangelo: Das Leben eines Titanen, (1938, Switzerland) with new footage shot by Flaherty.

The film begins dreamily describing the quieter times of the 16th century. The documentary, which was made in the years after World War II, goes on to examine the life and teachings of the reformer Martin Luther.

Freely adapted from Theodor Storm's novella of the same name.

“A documentary film illustrating and analysing the mediæval architecture and sculpture of the beautiful cathedral of Naumburg in Germany.” - The [London] Film Society, 1936.
