Berge in Flammen (1931): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 1931, Berge in Flammen is a drama and bélica film directed by Karl Hartl, running about 94 minutes.

What it’s about. Two of Germany's best and busiest directors collaborated on Berge in Flammen (Mountain in Flames). The storyline should be of interest to pro-ecologists, inasmuch as the directors take to task the warmongers of the world for despoiling the natural beauties of the European mountain ranges with their shell-fire. The final outrage occurs during a battle between the Austrians and the Italians in the Dolomites, culminating with the destruction of an entire mountain (hence the film's title). The harrowing images on screen were complemented perfectly by the musical score of Giuseppe Beece. Also known as The Doomed Batallion, Berge in Flammen was filmed in three different languages -- German, English, French -- for a total cost of $150,000.

Who’s in it. Berge in Flammen stars Luis Trenker as Florian Dimai, Lissy Arna as Pia, Claus Clausen as Leutnant Kall and Michael von Newlinsky, among others.
