"Halt's Maul, jetzt red' i!"According to a book I read Der Rebell was a film Adolf Hitler liked a lot. It's pretty easy to see why: The protagonist comes back to an Austrian town taken over by the French and unites the German people to fight the foreigners. Included are heroic deaths for the fatherland.For the most part Der Rebell is a pretty mediocre film with some disjointed scenes and rather bad acting. However there is one lenghty chase sequence where they take it up the actual Alps, above the clouds in the snow, and that's pretty damn impressive. They also cause some real avalanches in the film for some action scenes with dummies.Most of the script comes off more corny than anything else. Luise Ullrich is pretty charming though.
