*When Duty Calls (1926) - An Original Australian Long Daybill Movie Poster
*This silent feature was originally released in Germany in 1926 as *Der
Mann im Feuer* (literally: The Man in the Fire), it was released the UK
and its colonies in *1929* under the title *When Duty Calls*. The
director Erich Waschneck received the co-operation of the Berlin fire
brigade to obtain the many gigantic fire scenes in the UFA feature 'When
Duty Calls' shown in the first half of the film.
One reviewer in Adelaide, Australia in 1930 had cause to write "/Those
who remember the magnificent photography in the B.I.P Picture "Moulin
Rouge" /(1928) /will certainly look forward to the UFA Production, "When
Duty Calls", which was also photographed by Werner' Brandes
<http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0104634/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cr5>. The trick
photography in this feature plainly, shows marked signs of genius.//"//
//
//"The theme deals with a man who is discharged from the fire brigade,
because of his old age. Through the pleadings of his daughter to the
Superintendent Fix he is given a theory test whereby he may return to
his old job. How he falls In the test, but proves himself in a big
theatre fire will hold one entranced throughout the film. The cast is
filled by several popular players, including Henry Stuart, Helga
Thomas,//and Rudolf Rittner./"
Rudolf Rittner retired from theatre acting at the peak of his career in
1907 (aged just 38). However in 1922 he returned as actor in several
German movies, especially in Fritz Lang's 1924 silent masterpiece Die
Nibelungen with Rittner starring as Markgraf Rüdiger von Bechlarn.
