Also known as “The Tempest”, “Stuerme der Leidenschaft” was the first of Robert Siodmak’s two directorial efforts of 1932. Emil Jannings stars as a tough but basically gentle gangster who, while serving a prison term, is betrayed by his sweetheart Anna Sten. Released from prison, the disgruntled Jannings murders Sten’s seducer, forcing him to hide out from the police. Meanwhile, Sten, who has sworn total fidelity to her fugitive lover, again betrays him at the first opportunity.

The stills, on doubleweight paper, are in very good condition. All but the smaller stills have the Universum-Film Aktiengesellschaft stamp on the reverse.
