Mountains on Fire
🇦🇹 Austria 🇮🇹 Italy The 1910sTwo of Germany's best and busiest directors collaborated on Berge in Flammen (Mountain in Flames).

The final outrage occurs during a battle between the Austrians and the Italians in the Dolomites, culminating with the destruction of an entire mountain (hence the film's title). The harrowing images on screen were complemented perfectly by the musical score of Giuseppe Beece. Also known as The Doomed Batallion, Berge in Flammen was filmed in three different languages -- German, English, French -- for a total cost of $150,000.
