The story of Mary Magdalene. English dubbed. Dir. Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia

An expedition discovers blonde 16 year-old Liane venerated by the native tribe in the African jungle and returns her to Hamburg where she is welcomed by her grandfather, ship tycoon Von Amelongen. His nephew Schoening, present head of the firm and prospective heir, tries all to stop his uncle from acknowledging her, including perjury, destruction of evidence, and finally resorting to murder. He dies in an accident driving his car into the river in his flight from the police. There is a subplot around a love quadrangle centered around Thoren, who is secretly loved by biologist Jacqueline who is in turn courted by Hungarian Tibor. Thoren plays paternal protector to Liane before succumbing to her youthful charm and returning with her to the jungle.

Description Coming Soon

At the height of the Cold War, an East German refugee slips aboard an American military duty train leaving West Berlin, deep inside East Germany. The Russian and East German authorities stop the train and demand that the “criminal” be handed over to them. The young American officer in charge of the train doesn’t want to do it, but fears that he may have no choice in the matter. The movie is based on a true incident.

In this suspenseful espionage adventure, Yankee super-sleuth Lemmy Caution must investigate the murder of a female agent and the disappearance of an important scientist. Caution’s search leads him to Europe where he learns that the scientist was not kidnapped. He is instead the secret leader of a spy ring.

A ring of counterfeiters is flooding the country with phony money, and suspicion falls upon a wealthy playboy who may–or may not–have amnesia.
