Add to wishlist DetailsExisting reviews1 Der Siebenjährige Krieg steht kurz vor dem Ende. Die preußische Armee ist verheerend geschlagen worden, nur mit Mühe kann Friedrich der Große den Gegnern in Österreich und Frankreich vorgaukeln, dass seine Männer noch zahlreich und kampfbereit sind. Der Verschwörer Graf Wallis trifft ein Abkommen mit den Franzosen und heckt einen Plan aus, um Friedrich in seinem brandenburgischen Domizil gefangen zu nehmen. Nur durch einen glücklichen Zufall misslingt der Plan der Verschwörer. Doch da droht bereits neues Unheil. Die russische Zarin Elisabeth befiehlt ihren Truppen, Berlin mit aller Macht anzugreifen. And yet another film about Frederick the Great, this time from 1936. It is the beginning of the 1760s and Prussia is in the middle of the Seven Year's War. The Prussian army has suffered horrible losses before the combined French, Austrian and Russian enemies; Friedrich himself barely escapes becoming a prisoner of the Austrians in Brandenburg. Thankfully, with the help of General Zieten's Hussaren and lots of willpower, Friedrich manages to rip Berlin out of the Russians' grasp and win the war. In some ways similar to the film Der Grosse Konig -- which we also sell -- made four years later (and, in fact, the last scene of the later film is uncannily similar to the ending of this film), this film doesn't quite pull it off as well as its follower, but is entertaining, nonetheless. 98 minutes long (plus a 23 minute newsreel). EXCELLENT FILM QUALITY Region Free (can play in any DVD player). IN GERMAN WITH WITH SWITCHABLE ENGLISH SUBTITLES. PLEASE NOTE THAT SWITCHABLE (SOFT) SUBTITLES WILL NOT SHOW UP WHEN VIEWING THE SAMPLE BELOW. IF YOU SEE SUBTITLES, THEN THEY ARE HARD-ENCODED (meaning, they cannot be turned off when viewing the film): Great companion to the Great King., 6/14/2016 7:10 PM From: schreck@ptd.net I love rarefilmsandmore.com because they took the time to put in sub-titles. This is a great companion to the Great King. I esp. liked the scenes with Maria Theresia, Kaunitz, and Franzl. Takes place from retreat from Hochkirch (sort of)--actually a blend of Hochkirch retreat and Liegnitz--to Torgau.
