(1943) Hans Albers, Hermann Speelmans, Käthe Haack, Ferdinand Marian, Wilhelm Bendow, Marina von Ditmar, Michael Bohnen. An epic film with Albers at his best. Armed with immortality, Munchausen rides horses, hot air balloons and even cannon balls as he travels the world saving beautiful ladies of royalty. He is aided by his faithful servant who is armed with a fantastic rifle that can hit targets from 100 miles away and a runner who can sprint great distances in seconds. Munchausen eventually ends of on the moon in an amazing scene that has some of the film’s best moments. A great yet not unexpected twist ending. Aka Munchausen. In German with English subtitles. Color, 35mm.
