Metropolisforever Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Thought to have been lost for decades, German filmmaker Richard Oswald's 1919 picture Different From the Others was eventually discovered to have survived the Nazi era. The films stars Conrad Veidt of Casablanca and centers on the oppression brought upon Germany's homosexual men as a result of the penal code's controversial Paragraph 175. The silent film also stars Leo **** and Ilse Von Tasso-Lind. In June 2007, TCM aired a bunch of classic movies with gay themes. For some reason, this movie was not aired.

Arkadin Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I've seen (and own) the film. It's a very interesting movie. Veidt gives an incredible performance and is quite touching. I would personally classify this as a silent film, but who cares? It's a great film, especially for fans of Veidt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
