The title of this French "reality" drama, which translates to Before the Deluge, is a play on Louis XVI's famous prognostication, "Apres moi, le deluge." Set in 1950, the film concentrates on five Parisian adolescents. Certain that the next war will herald the apocalypse, the youngster make plans to run off to a desert island and set up a new society. This, however, will require money, which is why the boys decide to pull off a "necessary" robbery. Idealism collapses in the face of cold reality, as the five youths suffer from the consequences of their actions. Avant le Deluge was one of a group of films cowritten by director Andre Cayatte and Charles Spaak which endeavored to explore the touchy social issues of the day: others in the Cayatte-Spaak canon include the euthanasia-themed Justice est Faite and the capital-punishment tract Nous sommes tous des assassins. close

Marika Reck ("The Girl of My Dreams"), Elizabeth Marcus ("Then"), Walter Giller ("The Queen of Bees") in the musical comedy "Sensation in San Remo." Cornelia (Marica Rekk) leads a double life: by day she is a prim teacher in a women's gymnasium, and in the evening - a frivolous singer in a nightclub and this "immodest" work helps her family survive. The girl carefully hides her additional earnings from her colleagues at school and her relatives, who, however, themselves are a little “jocked” in their spare time. One day things start to spiral out of control when Cornelia falls in love with a famous composer and conductor and travels with him to a song contest in San Remo. In trouble, the headmaster of her school, who came to the teachers' conference, settles in the same hotel. This story has a good ending, because the heroine’s dreams will come true – she will become a famous singer, besides the wife of a popular composer and director. “Sensation in San Remo” meets all the criteria of musical cinema of the fifties and is one of the best musical films in Germany. This is the fourth post-war film by Marika Reck, an actress with a tireless character who always works with extreme tension. In the fifties, she was as popular as she was when she was the star of Nazi Germany. And, as before, there are countless performances, concerts, films, tours, recordings on the radio. To the credit of the great actress, Marika Reck did not star in any Nazi film with a political coloring. close

Heroes of Shipka was the first solo effort for Soviet director Sergei Vasilyev, who had previously collaborated with his late brother Georgi. As head of the Leningrad Film Studios, Vasilyev was obliged to traffic in propaganda, but he never forgot how to make his material entertaining. The film is set in 1887 during the pivotal battle between the Russians and the Turks at the Shipka Pass. Stressing the solidarity of the Soviet states, tribute is paid to the courageous Bulgarian volunteers who helped the Russians fend off their mutual enemy. American critics were impressed by Heroes of Shipka, but felt that the film would have been twice as effective had it been lensed in Cinemascope rather than "standard aspect." close
