"The Dismissal"

Die Entlassung
Bismarck

The year is now 1888. Kaiser Wilhelm I, for whose house of Hohenzollern Bismarck created the empire, dies; his son, Crown Prince Friedrich III, dies soon thereafter of laryngeal cancer and is succeeded by the old Kaiser’s grandson, the arrogant, inexperienced Wilhelm II. In 1890 the Kaiser’s will prevails, and Bismarck, portrayed to perfection by Emil Jannings, is forced to resign. The new Kaiser’s rejection of the old Iron Chancellor forms the core of the drama, the outcome of which ultimately led to the First World War, the abdication of Wilhelm II, and the rise of Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich.

Directed by Wolfgang Liebeneiner. Starring Emil Jannings, Theodor Loos, Werner Hinz, Carl Ludwig Diehl, Werner Krauss. Germany, 1942, B&W, 103 mins. German dialogue, English subtitles.
