In German with English subtitles.

Directed by Gustav Ucicky. Released three days after Adolf Hitler became Reichskanzler, Morgenrot was the first film to have its screening in Nazi Germany. It became a symbol of the new times touted by the Nazi regime. The title (literally "morning-red") is the German term for the reddish coloring of the eastern sky about a half hour before the sunrise. Dawn was the U.S. title. It was filmed in Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, the first German submarine movie made after World War I.

From the New York Times, May 16, 1933: "As a film concerned with U-boat warfare during the world conflict, Morgenrot... is in a class by itself. It is far and away the most realistic offering of its kind, and the scenes are beautifully photographed, with a compelling and true conception of the North Sea. In fact it is produced so effectively that it seems like a graphic account of the actual exploits of a submarine and not a story pictured years after hostilities ceased. The actors chosen to grace this venture look as if they were cut out for the sea, and they seem to have an uncanny knowledge of the working of a submarine."

5 of 5 excellent and high quality October 19, 2023
Reviewer: walter kale from WILMETTE, IL United States  
An excellent and high quality copy in NTSC US format.  This was difficult to find because of the German PAL format which does not wok here.
MORGENROT (Red morning), is a highly realistic and atmospheric film, it captures the era which is portrayed during WWI German submarine warfare very well.
