Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Historic film with innovative filming techniques
Weiße Hölle vom Piz Palü, Die

Newlyweds Johannes Krafft (Gustav Diessl) and Maria Krafft (Mizzi Götzel) have been warned not to be goofing off while the are climbing the pale mountain in the Bernina Alps of Switzerland. Of course they do not listen and Maria falls into a crack and her rope brakes.

Now many years later Dr. Johannes Krafft is still wandering over the mountain looking for his lost Maria.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A thrilling mountain climbing adventure

Arnold Fanck's spellbinding THE WHITE HELL OF PITZ PALU is a 1929 German silent with English intertitles and a powerful orchestra score. The notorious Leni Riefenstahl stars along with two German actors I have never heard of, Gustav Diessl and Ernst Peterson. Pitz Palu is a dangerously steep Swiss mountain that a young mountain climbing couple and another man decide to ascend. But once they get to the top, how do they get back down without freezing to death?! Fanck loved making adventure ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Spectacular Mountain Scenery against a backdrop of Tragedy
Although originally a silent release (German) - this is one of my all time favorite films. I sincerely hope that Ray Harryhausen and Legend films will be able to colorize this film sometime in the near future - because it's spectacular mountain (Pitz Palu) scenery truly lends itself to the colorization process.

Strongly influenced by the adventure novels of the Swiss Gustav Renker, who seemed to be possessed by the eternal conflict between the man and the nature, under the perspective of domain and constant struggle. The location ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A highlight of the "mountain film" genre
This late German silent is very much an action and mountain-climbing disaster film, of which genre "The Holy Mountain" is probably the best remembered, and in comparison "The White Hell of Pitz Palu" probably falls short in a few areas. Firstly, there is not much of a story or plot as it revolves around three main characters who have a climbing accident, get stuck and inevitably need to be rescued. Without a doubt the action and disaster scenes (climbing walls of ice, falls and avalanches) are expertly done, ... Read More
