Struggle for the Matterhorn (German: Der Kampf ums Matterhorn) is a 1928 German-Swiss silent drama film co-directed by Mario Bonnard and Nunzio Malasomma and starring Luis Trenker, Marcella Albani, and Alexandra Schmitt. The film is part of the popular cycle of mountain films of the 1920s and 1930s. Art direction was by Heinrich Richter. Based on a novel by Carl Haensel, the film depicts the battle between British and Italian climbers to be the first to climb the Matterhorn. Trenker later remade the film as The Challenge in 1938.

The Kaiser of California (German Der Kaiser von Kalifornien) is a 1936 film that has the unique distinction of being the only western film made in Nazi Germany. Almost all of the exterior scenes were even shot on location in California.
The film follows the life story of John Sutter, or Johann Suter, the owner of Sutter's Mill, famous as the birthplace of the great California Gold Rush of 1848.
While the basic story of Sutter's life is retained, the producers inserted some notable changes reflecting the political environment of the film's creation: though Sutter was a Swiss-German, the film emphasizes his german ethnicity and though he changed his name to John Sutter when he came to the United States, throughout the film he retains the name Johann Suter. Besides that the film hardly stresses a völkisch concept, as Suter's men are portrayed as immigrants from all over the world, not only Germany.
The film opposes the "easy" money of gold-digging with the wealth and values created by hard work, as the Gold Rush eventually destroys Suter's fortunes and creates social disintegration and the loss of solidarity and companionship.
