Original title: Tiefland
Tiefland was mostly shot in 1940
This is the last full feature film of Leni Riefenstahl is based on "Marta of the Lowlands (Terra Baixa); A Play in Three Acts by Owen Wallace Gilpatrick (1915). The evil Don Sebastian, Marquès von Roccabruna wants it all including a Spanish Bettel dancer on the side.
It is not quite as popular as many of the other Leni Riefenstahl films such as "The Blue Light" (1932). But it can hold its own. You will get intrigued by the story. Of course, you may feel a little embarrassed for Leni playing an exotic dancer and the knife fight scene.
The English subtitles do not exactly match, so be sure to listen to the soundtrack.
