The Family Tree of Dr. Pistorius

Der Stammbaum des Dr. Pistorius (Original Title)

Der Stammbaum des Dr. Pistorius (The Family Tree of Dr. Pistorius ) is a 1939 German feature film directed by Karl Georg Külb based on the novel of the same name by Waldemar Reichardt. The movie follows the story of Dr. Pistorius, a petit-bourgeois character who is quite sure that he's descended from nobility. But eventually, he comes to the surprising conclusion that the worth of a person is based on his personality and not his feudal family tree. He experiences surprising events that lead him to this realization.

This movie is brought to you thanks to an anonymous donor dedicated to scholarly studies of Third Reich Cinema.
