Blood and Soil (German: Blut und Boden) refers to the ideology focussing on a concept of ethnicity based on descent (Blood) and homeland (Soil). It celebrates the relationship of a people to the land that they occupy and cultivate and places high esteem on the virtues of the bucolic (as opposed to urban) living. From this propaganda film, we learn, how hard it is to be a peasant when liberals rule the state. A family of peasants is forced to sell their property and run away to a big city, where they are forced to live in the poverty. Thankfully when the Nazis take power, they may finally come back and live a happy life. Besides the main plot, there is also educational elements here: Germans are informed how few of them will remain in 2050 year if they don't start a mass reproduction.

This presentation of 'Waterloo', a film by Karl Grune about the last hurrah of Napoleon, is a fascinating companion to the Abel Gance epic 'Napoleon'. 'Waterloo' presents a tale of several people involved in the final battle. Napoleon and Wellington, of course, but also the Austrian general Blutcher (who is seen as a ladies' man - his scene with a flirty Countess about halfway through the film is priceless; as are his touching scenes with his plain wife (who he imagines to be a young and nubile girl when they get romantic) and some people within his regiment. Not simply a film of war, 'Waterloo' is a story of people, of lovers, of lost opportunities.

A film based on the story of the Tyrolean innkeeper and patriot Andreas Hofer who led an Austrian uprising against Bavarian and French troops during the Napoleonic Wars.

In these mountains, shaded by dark fir trees, revenge and hatred reign and constant struggle between the countless races and sects.

En la segunda parte, el aventurero Kay Hoog tendrá que enfrentarse de nuevo a la conspiración de "Las Arañas". Además, descubrirá una ciudad china subterránea, custodiada por tigres y cuya existencia nadie conoce. Si en la primera aventura los incas ofrecían sus sacrificios humanos para ser mucho más fuertes y vencer a los enemigos de Occidente, en la segunda los indios desean recuperar el diamante, que perteneció a la dinastía Ming, para devolver la libertad a Asia y expulsar a todos los extranjeros; si en Der goldene See las Arañas enloquecen y luchan entre sí por el fabuloso tesoro del lago de oro, en Das Brillantenschiff pelean frenéticamente entre ellos para conseguir salir de la gruta venenosa. Y, es muy posible, de haber dirigido Lang las otras dos partes previstas, que Kay Hoog olvidara a su amada dejándose caer en los brazos de Ellen Terry, a la que salva en el último momento.

Plot unknown

Kay Hoog es un millonario aventurero, una especie de cruce entre Phileas Fogg e Indiana Jones. En la primera parte de la serie, "Der goldene see", Hoog encuentra una botella con un mensaje que ha sido arrojada al mar por un profesor de Harvard desaparecido en Perú. A partir de aquí, se suceden las más diversas aventuras: el hallazgo de un gran tesoro de la antigua civilización inca, una organización secreta llamada "Las Arañas", dirigida por una mujer fría y calculadora, viajes en barco y globo. Y, finalmente, Hoog se enamora de una bella princesa inca y la lleva consigo a San Francisco. De Las arañas en particular, de la cual solo pudieron llevarse a cabo las dos primeras partes de las cuatro en que se había concebido, diré que prefigura en cierta manera el tipo de El doctor Mabuse y que está, al menos en su primera parte, inspirada ya de un modo totalmente languiano, a través de noticias y artículos de los periódicos, como haría hasta el fin de su obra en tantas películas.
