Discounted set of the two aforementioned films.

DER ZINKER (1931):

This is the first German filming of the play based on the novel by Edgar Wallace, which differs in regards to the identity of the perpetrator: Who is the “squeaker”? This is something that not only Scotland Yard is asking, but all of the London underworld. His secret identity is forcing the crooks to put a bounty on his head. Whoever doesn’t play as he wishes gets ratted out to the cops. And whoever stands in his way, he eliminates without a second thought. Inspector Elford of Scotland Yard has to be very careful not to be distracted, for everyone is a suspect!

Erste deutsche Verfilmung des Theaterstücks und Romans von Edgar Wallace, die in der Identität des Täters von der Vorlage abweicht: Wer ist "der Zinker"? – fragt sich nicht nur Scotland Yard, sondern auch die Londoner Unterwelt. Der geheimnisvolle Hehler zwingt Gauner dazu, ihm ihre Beute für einen Spottpreis zu überlassen. Wer nicht mitspielt, den verrät ("verzinkt") er an die Polizei. Und wer ihm im Wege steht, den bringt er skrupellos um. Inspektor Elford von Scotland Yard muss aufpassen, dass er nicht den Überblick verliert, denn fast jeder ist verdächtig.

THERE IS A NEWSREEL ALONG WITH THE FILM, JUST AS GERMAN AUDIENCES MIGHT HAVE SEEN WHEN THE MOVIE WAS FIRST SHOWN (except this newsreel may not be contemporary to when the film was released).

DVD-R IS IN GERMAN WITH NO SUBTITLES (except for the Newsreel).

QUALITY (of feature film only):

· Sharpness of picture? - very good quality overall

LENGTH OF FEATURE FILM: 66 mins

LENGTH OF NEWSREEL: 16 mins

DER ZINKER (1963):

Wer ist "der Zinker"? – fragt sich nicht nur Scotland Yard, sondern auch die Londoner Unterwelt. Der geheimnisvolle Hehler zwingt Gauner dazu, ihm ihre Beute für einen Spottpreis zu überlassen. Wer nicht mitspielt, den verrät ("verzinkt") er an die Polizei. Und wer ihm im Wege steht, den bringt er skrupellos um, bevorzugt durch das tödliche Gift der schwarzen Mamba. Inspektor Elford von Scotland Yard muss aufpassen, dass er nicht den Überblick verliert, denn fast jeder ist verdächtig.

Who’s “The Squeaker”? Not only is Scotland Yard asking this, but rather the entire London underworld. The mysterious fence forces crooks to sell him their misgotten gains for a ridiculously low price. And he who doesn’t play along is betrayed to the police. And when someone stands in his way, he’s knocked off without a second thought, preferably by the poison of the deadly Mamba. Inspector Elford from Scotland Yard has to be careful not to overlook anything, for almost everyone is a suspect.

DVD-R IS IN GERMAN WITH SWITCHABLE ENGLISH SUBTITLES

QUALITY (of feature film only):

· Sharpness of picture? - Excellent film quality

LENGTH OF FEATURE FILM: 86 mins
