Crimson Romance
After Fred von Bergen, a German immigrant in America, is forced from his job by anti-German hysteria before the first world war, he and his friend Bob Wilson leave America and join the German air force. There, both men fall in love with ambulance driver Alida Hoffman. When America enters the war, Bob is caught between loyalty to his home country and the threat of execution for desertion and treason to Germany. It remains for his friend Fred to extricate him from the dilemma - but at what cost?
From the archive
A World War I romantic acton drama with an utterly absurd plot and dialog to match. Large cast and good production values for a Mascot film. Neither helps much. The print is in excellent condition. However it appears to be a 2nd-release or TV broadcast edit. Directed by David Howard US release 1934 UK release 1935
