History

Margot Fréderique Amélie Eugénie 'Dolly' Mollinger (1911 - 2004) was a Dutch actress. During a job as a secretary at a film office, she was asked to do test shots and promptly given a lead part in 'De Kribbebijter'. In the same year, she starred in 'Het Leven is Niet Zoo Kwaad' with Fien de la Mar and Lou Bandy. After roles in 'Rubber' and 'De Man Zonder Hart', Mollinger left for England, where she had a supporting role in 'Vessel of Wrath' with Charles Laughton in 1938. In the late 1930s she lived and worked in Paris, appearing in the films 'Altitude 3.200' (Jean Benoît-Lévy, 1938) and 'Place de la Concorde' (Carl Lamac, 1938). After this she emigrated to the United States, but she had no luck getting herself an acting career there. Nonetheless she stayed in the States and became a school teacher. She died in 2004, only a few months before her 93d birthday.

Place de la Concorde

Youth in Revolt

Maria

"Altitude 3.200" asks the question and provides the premise of what would happen if a group of young people----poor, rich, discontented, bored--- were given an idyllic community in which to live. Call it a colony. Call it a village. Call it one-world. Mainly call it a futile exercise in changing human nature, mores, culture and attitudes at any altitude. For t'ain't no time before clashing personalities, petty jealousy, violence and---that old demon---love create havoc. And isn't much longer before they become re-united in the face of an avalanche that threatens to destroy them. They all return to whence they came, sadder and wiser.
