Robert Reinert Writer: Robert Reinert Stars: Eduard von Winterstein, Sybill Morel and Werner Krauss
$13.99

A contemporary of the German Expressionist classics Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and M, Opium delivers a cautionary tale about addiction and sexual licentiousness.  Whether it is historically or artistically important as a benchmark or as entertainment is debatable; the box notes tell us that it sold out for weeks on end when it debuted.

DVD-R IS SILENT WITH GERMAN INTERTITLES AND SWITCHABLE ENGLISH SUBTITLES

Unsharp and unclear picture; washed out and indistinct, but definitely "watchable".  LENGTH OF FEATURE FILM:  96 minutes
