1:13 pm
able to start all b, it one day late. but after they cast off, it soon became clear that leaf installs mind was elsewhere. instead of studying fang script, she was reading otto hitler's mind comp that often borrow from news from hitler. apparently, she also had a photo of hitler with her during the filming of s o. s iceberg. as an oscar yoga and according to her co workers and colleagues carter, she built a little alter for this hitler picture. hold on with his and she raved about hitler horned and about her future had often yet so conf. dish firmed oh. shunning discussions about the screen play. lee from style flirted with hands. apple instead, sank, had hired him as a mountain guide for as so as iceberg. later after the came thanks, camera man, leaf in style admired the daring climber of the regime. the law, she's shown in the journey, she'd already been off to me shallow. then we were in the gentleman's lounge

playing cards. and suddenly lenny came in and looked at me with her wonderful eyes . she had wonderful eyes. shaw showed me my article from the humbug illustrator australia did all this it. she said to me, i'm telling you it can no longer be denied. so i was never so infatuated with a woman as i was with her back then for those who hold. and lenny herself came to me and said, i often cons you with your cat size. i want to scratch them out, but i liked you too much to be good to know. she was completely crazy. divorced ah, yet for her director arnold. thank, she had nothing but i see disregard. what had happened up until that moment there shared history, read like a fairy tale. it began almost 7 years earlier in the spring of 1925. back
1:15 pm
then, the berlin plumbers daughter, lini lee from style was staring into avoid any injury, had put an end to the dancing career. she pursued against her, far pursued against her father's wishes. so she was looking for new projects. these often bes, on her way to an important doctors appointment up and so she's sitting at a subway station when suddenly a movie post to catches her eyes feed. it's the mountain of destiny on a film by dr. arnold fund. it's playing at the cinema across the street in. she forgets all else and isn't utterly fascinated as the ease of design. eckleman fast cbs, lease and star skips her appointment and goes to the movies instead. the nature and the actors in the film cast a spell on her with lun months builder. the, these were depictions of men who still went out into nature which did not smooth
1:16 pm
city slickers, a live lung she'd been fascinated by mountain, is all her life up from batch logan fast to me. i think maybe when she saw thanks films, she wasn't just attracted to the mountains, but also to these figures that lead very different lives from the people in the urbanized world as live in fulton as the mentioned in the organization. bit ah global, this vision been and some but i believe that she left her family circle for good. she left the city for gert. she conquered this new cinematic space as nature, the mountains, the back road. and she found refuge with a new father figure and nor, namely, arnold, thank nor of hartford group on to her on norfolk and at the time, i know frank was germany's most renowned director. after 10000000 people flocked to the cinemas to see his films linearly from style was also fascinated by facts,
1:17 pm
pictures of rugged mountains. fungi and causal man to thank was a great romantic horse whose skill laying, conveying the grandeur and beauty of the mountains. along with the danger of the mountains in black and white to go to a wide audience, right, republican bites open, and he inspired people to enter this magnificent world. the good built in england, mid frank, with thank the mountain, gained whole new powers of attraction. this was all hm, thank students. and for the 1st time, audiences saw how clouds moved over the mountains. in fact, films they saw steep cliffs and avalanches, felt the frost us out of and thank was good at giving folks a feel for the cold that prevails up there to go. and the sense of threat. there's a constant sense of threatened the images. he brings this nature which was previously viewed with skepticism and concern from below into people's living rooms
1:18 pm
and the cinemas, silva. the boldness in the born storm gets himself into genus for thank. mountains were sacred. as a child he'd suffered from asthma, which triggered choking fits and panic attacks. only when his father sent him from hesser and germany to divulge in the swiss alps did his health improve. jesse blood, where he decided he no longer wanting to be a hysterically viet rather from that moment on, made live a disciplined and athletic life. and from then on facts, life revolved around the mountains. he earned a doctorate and geology worked as a ski and structure, climbed mountains and took pictures of them and a lip as well as if we were gonna give you a currently one time a storm cloud. rosmer behind a forest and he took wonderful photos of it. from gemacht about the storm cloud didn't move in the photos and he found that to satisfying the fears. so when moving pictures came along and became accessible to him,
1:19 pm
he suddenly realized that my medium, i wonder, the hot, implicit cause in dust as my medium. thank wanted to move the camera and capture natural light. so he did something unthinkable for the time. he took the camera off the tripod and out and to nature. this style became known as unchained camera. is this good now describe sure exactly how a skier feels when he's under way to skip the signal tons, that's what you want to convey on to. so it's clear that you have to move the camera on to take it with you. if you want to get those emotions across the him with you on the limiting mil, new perspectives and innovative technology have enabled villi book now to further develop and interpret what arnold frank began.
1:20 pm
driven by a desire to shoot moving pictures. thank founded a company in 1920, he and his team developed the 1st as alar film camera, and the 1st optical zoom lens. he also mounted a handheld camera on skis. frank had already proved to be a clever inventor during world war one. but if you're not up the other, i think for the looking counter intelligence, he employed some photographic tricks. he probably taught himself by good huffstutter, namely photographing certain colored stamps and documents using different filters to for example, equip agents with new passports on stomach condom. and i'm imms mustard and which i can bit annoying, personal shopping. while in the military, he also saw a slow motion camera for the 1st time. it was used to analyze how grenades penetrate armored walls out as a contest. as noise,
1:21 pm
he recognized that this kind of camera for new cinematic possibilities. v as a could show the movements of a skier, or ski jumper and very slow motion, often in a fit of madness, he bought one on file from bond. it was from a company called animal life from the, from eastern dresden, germany. at least of them the camera way, 250 kilos and they hauled it up in the mountains some of using it for the 1st time in the wonders of skiing and 1920 on something that's francis. i just wondered if nash was chauncey austin. well, i guess it's for the 1st time the audience could see movements in slow motion. it was a sensation with their pictures. thank. and his team developed a new genre, the mountain film. it's focus was our nature photography and daring stance. the story was secondary fever and her desire. thus for today we'd say it was a bit of an action film to come by. this was all in that sense, both things came together with the visual attraction of nature and the
1:22 pm
entertainment value offered by the action. it was actually perfect. a complete package was bucket, but no cinema wanted to screen fax documentary the wonders of skiing. so he and his colleagues rented auditoriums and travel to germany with the film reels in their suitcases. their marketing strategy worked more and more people clambered to see the spectacular pictures ah, leaf in style. then a dancer with a knee injury was fascinated by fax recordings. ah, is i taught tell, it was totally different film a pioneering one. back then there were no mountain films, no such moving images. the clouds, for example, were alive and they moved. they had never been anything like it. frank was a pioneer. the slow motion shots and above all the lighting, the back light and the framing. it was also autistic, so far,
1:23 pm
far ahead of its time right away. even without knowing much about film, i realized that this was a very, very special art form i was seeing on screen for the 1st time. so yes, less than an event, at least. the 22 year old had a new career goal to become an actress and fax films. ah, these i for 2, i'm 3 or device. she just traveled to a location where she knew frank would be filming how things it. but she didn't meet him there. her, instead, she met louis tanka and sweet, talked him into a range in contact with funk of the cooking, hockey, b, e, and contact here. mr. arnold frank was in his early thirty's back then i fancy lenny grievance tall in her early twenties. he brought o'clock, she was a very attractive woman and had perfectly mastered the art of party crashing as we put it to day long in dallas. sean, perfect to hearst, as you see how you were to. so hopefully he certainly had great hopes for a personal relationship that went beyond the professional one media of the effect
1:24 pm
she had on him was enormously rosita and otherwise he wouldn't have written a screenplay for her within a few days of getting to know her and label physically, a whole script that was truly tailored to her focus off. she also get involved. thank most i'll high nichols. thank must also have had great christmas then because otherwise the young reef and star would not have been so crazy about him in that's how it was the dismissal, the feature film, the holy mountain is facts visual declaration of love to li finch dahl. but the script also reveals his jealousy of it, who was tonka, who had had an affair with her in this di, extra hope. this was marlene back. a sheet in the manager was portrayed in the holy mountain tomb and desire. the same woman was in. so you can read inch with a personal situation between funk tanker and cleveland style style. it's clear that these 2 good mountaineers are which tanker and funk also were vying for the same
1:25 pm
woman dusty on his own before. she's the moon. with lini leaf ashton as his leading lady, a new narrative horizon, opened up for fag and fuming his limbs, which had up until that point been very light on part simply lacked a narrative element on the just showing men climb up a mountain and ski down at again, haven't you? well, you could not ville, not so often clean. the female element was missing to this money. what let you tell a happy or unhappy story, a rivalry on the mountain and so on. what you had and frank realized that it in many reef and style, he'd found the woman who could play that role. he does one who was also willing to be subjected to the extreme conditions that prevailed during a film shoot up on a mountain green. one prepared to go along and do that and i did the, i'll bite, bessie w is dummy to gain on t as of to mom or still lini,
1:26 pm
leaf and style knew she needed to acquire many skills to hold her ground with thank she quickly learned how to ski and climb was about the right honest. she was prepared to scale a rock facing the dolomites without arriving in difficult conditions where i today have to make an effort not to make any mistakes. although of course, she was young, very agile, and she was a damn a little she had all the pre requisites to become a good climber up and. but it took some time and effort before a girl from berlin. she'd gone down there. we'd never seen a little before. we'd have enough calluses on her finger tips for that to word help us with our folks in the upper news referenced i wasn't yet able to show off her climbing skills in the holy mountain. her character deal tina stays down in the valley. i p. the high owls is still the men's. combat, simon, vice. it's not for her yet. and, but while watching the film you already suspect that reef and style won't be
1:27 pm
satisfied to stay behind in the valley road in her private life, she also forged a new path, breaking off her engagement to well known tennis pro auto. for a time. they had told me she didn't define herself by the man at her side as far as you that had always been her creed. and on having kids was never a consideration with because if anything was truly important to her, it was her art. and if he needs to, well, it was really about as a woman to find in yourself through your own creations and achievements not through the person they were attached to. to right. after 11 days had see the expedition esa was iceberg reached the base camp in o. my knock on the west coast of greenland in late may 1932. it took over a week to offload the material and construct a cage for the polar bears they brought with them. since fac didn't, what are those any time he sent answer would it on reconnaissance flights?
1:28 pm
thank aim to keep his promise to car. lemme and shoot on an iceberg. 10 days after our arrival. my uncle's father condos estimates are essentially my grandfather knew his way around, ice and snow pretty well due to his previous films. but i think he never imagined that. remember me so much more difficult. condos, islov, isn't it? forced to no one in the film crew had any experience with icebergs. and the scientists who traveled with them could only venture a guess which icebergs were suitable to shoot on. i still can isolate also to 5 island, they melt from underneath and float fish only as promised. thank shot. his 1st pictures after 10 days in greenland and soon captured the sensational images. lemme wanted, for the 1st time ever cameramen filmed a glacier calving. the bliss
1:29 pm
of death, he says of eyes keep breaking off the front face of olsen. they can be the size of a small state or south to roll little but then they shadow completely on financing . and when a pace falls into the water, it goes under churning up everything for 50 or 100 meters around me. but in fennel, we can even make a boat capsized better than the i surfaces and goes under again and keeps going up and down until calm is restored with guns, a bit of gorgeous, triggered by a careless act. thank. still crew experienced this dangerous natural spectacle. first hand close to johnson myself, the whole crew fell into the water with the chunk of the iceberg. from cuz up above its master hook into the ice. to anchor the ship hub on the surface swung, which been ob, garaged. when i slipped off and almost drowned continued, i couldn't swim because i had crampons on my feet. oh and under water i said to

1:31 pm
candy. she ate them up till she'd had marcel still. she let every one watch her dance performance says it, the lady she's to show that lenny could show off. so she with her clothes off, it's all good. would she or she was beautiful and she danced, and we just stood there without tongues hanging out, taking the to info. but thank was enraged. he was jealous, and doubted he from stars willingness to give such a passionate performance for him. her director. so although his fiance, lisa kent was around, he left love poems for leaf and style in her tent. was manime of light. sight of real people were always in love with her, and that made for a delicate balance. she had to watch out the director of the camera man and may be the producer who will all. they kept feeling well disposed towards her to make sure she didn't put any one off the scene giant propelled how did she pull off this
1:32 pm
balancing act is obvious and little thoughts. i won't louder the expression now. listen, i don't want to do that. it's loud, but the i believe that as a woman in this team of men in this world of men, she had many admirers because she had powerful career. mom was most good looking, was invested in her work. and certainly did, at least as much as the strongest man isn't fulfilled a gaping finished ext. mina was kept our insurance. that's in there's an i sentence than a colleagues, memoirs about s o s, iceberg. there she, he wrote exact on. when we said the water here in greenland, there's just too cold to jump into. lenny reef install jumped right in, just to show us. no, it's fine, dusky, cham ah! davy from savage ethan stall was an anomaly in the weimar republic film scene.
1:33 pm
since she was the sports woman, she distinguished herself from all the vamps and shady characters who populated the movies otherwise forgotten. she was practically the antithesis of molina detroit awe from her 1st appearance in fangs films. cleveland style, like the director himself, had been willing to risk her life for a perfect picture. back then colleague suspected that fact was torturing the actress with whom he'd had a short affair to punish her for not committing to a long term relationship with him. as of india, but when she had to tight right walk over some narrow ridge when when she was let down on of right, her mouth full of snow and my health with more ice and snow, et cetera, as if those were extremely painful shoots. but she persevered when you had later as an old woman, she said she hated frank. she hated him for what she had to put up with not to stay up on the mountain with the men and not be sent back down to the valley or by the men and light to dolphin,
1:34 pm
when it's time to speak to the ah. during the shooting of s o s, iceberg. thank also pushed the limits to secure striking images for hollywood. nobody else stops. not a separatist. i think lead actor suppressed under the greatest hardships by the hand. she had to jump into the icy water more than 20 times until the shop came out . the way my grandfather had imagined longest men cause the water was 4 degrees celsius, had few. he practically had to swim between ice floes and blocks of iceland. it's a wonder he even survived and should have been postponed as walter believed this and just only the chilly water wasn't the only danger. the polar bears they brought along were also a threat. in one scene, a bear was shot dead just before it killed an act. instead of scrapping the scene
1:35 pm
sank, planned to continue filming using the other polar bear bounced wooded secretly shot the 2nd bear to prevent a catastrophe. after 3 months. thank had shot just 10 minutes of his feature. film time was running out and even lini lee from style was reaching her physical limits. touch via the cooling, gulped. she suffered from severe colic and wasn't well, kennedy then there was the cold to these extreme and, and again as extreme schuessler jumping into icy water. it was a real mental and physical challenge that she only withstood with great effort and out of necessity. which guy, if not then refreshed, i got a bladder infection, a potentially life threatening illness as antibiotics weren't available yet. the doctor advised her to leave,

misty gabe linearly from stars spend weeks and months shooting with a mountain vagabonds on snow covered peaks. as that monkey, what did they do? they, they told each other stories, because she heard all they wore adventures. these had those men's voices in her ear all the noon. i think this experience even predestined her to make those knots. he party rally films gum to find access to those guys. and those images he, that's extremely important and she was the only woman to hear those things. it is good that her friendships with these men laid the foundation for her future career . any differences? male networks kept lenae, lee finished all moving ahead for the week. on the mountain, she learned to be tough on herself and to prevail over men. she also profited from thanks way of working. i'm back for when shooting
