The Ravine of Death

Die Schlucht des Todes1923

Overview

Marie, the daughter of a miner, is pregnant and has been abandoned by the father of her child. Taken in and married by a fellow miner, she sees her former lover suddenly reappear and assert his rights over her. A violent altercation then breaks out between the two men in the mine shaft. A gas leak triggers an explosion that buries them. Luciano Albertini performed sensational stunts at dizzying heights, filmed on the cliffs of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains or on imposing railway bridges. The tragic and sensational film culminates in a spectacular climb, a fall, and a rescue operation on the cliffs.
