BEL AMI (1939) *with switchable English and German subtitles*

Willi Forst, Olga Tschechowa and Johannes Riemann
(1)
$13.99

Erste deutsche Verfilmung des Romans von Guy de Maupassant, im NS-Regime vom sozialkritischen Anliegen des Originals gereinigt: Georges Duroy hat Glück bei den Frauen und macht unverhofft dadurch Karriere. Madeleine, die Frau des Chefredakteurs einer Pariser Zeitung, baut ihn zum Nachfolger ihres Mannes auf. Sie lässt sich scheiden und heiratet Georges, der Chefredakteur der Zeitung wird, nicht ahnend, dass Madeleine gemeinsame Sache mit dem korrupten Kolonialminister Laroche macht. Schließlich verliebt sich Georges in Suzanne, die zwar die Tochter Laroches, aber ein anständiges Mädchen ist. Georges deckt Laroches Machenschaften auf, wird sogar dessen Nachfolger als Minister, ordnet die Kolonialpolitik Frankreichs und beginnt ein neues Leben mit Suzanne.

Shortly after being demobilized, Georges Duroy becomes aware of his power over women in the arms of Rachel, a young singer.  Thanks to his good looks and his charming manners and his unabashed cynicism, he will rapidly rise to the top courtesy of numerous women (Mme Walter, Clotilde, Madeleine), from journalist to member of Parliament to cabinet minister.  But it is also the fair sex that will cause his fall in the end.

 
DVD-R IS IN GERMAN WITH SWITCHABLE ENGLISH SUBTITLES AND GERMAN SUBTITLES FOR THE HARD-OF-HEARING.
 
APPROX. 94 MINS.   EXCELLENT DIGITAL QUALITY.
