Most of the film is set in tableaux, with heavily made-up women standing still while lip-synching opera arias or American popular songs. The film begins in a theatrical manner with a close-up of two women standing as if living funeral steles. German opera arias are played on the soundtrack. A town is seen across a river against a sunset. The scene cuts to a woman running across a hillside to meet her love, another woman. The women kill each other. The next tableaux presents a woman in blackface singing the blues in English ("St. Louis Woman"). Four women appear in the following tableaux, standing while a naked woman crawls across the floor before them. On the soundtrack, a man's voice is heard reading in English lines from Shakespeare on war and battles. A woman's voice is then heard reading Ophelia's lines from Hamlet, followed by the scene of a woman dressed as Ophelia (wearing flowers in her hair and a loose gown) lip-synching the American song "Ramona." 590 PFA 1616-60-2641. |aCONDITION NOTE: Last inspected: 24 Oct 1992: splices; leader; scratches; pink; Poor condition: reel 1 (1584 ft., 29 fr.): many tape splices, some cement splices; color pinkish in sections; bad scratches (some continuous); reel 2 (791 ft., 22 fr.): needs head leader; tape splices; sprocket notches repaired with tape; bad continuous scratches; color OK; reel 3 (1513 ft.): needs head leader; bad continuous scratches; few tape splices; color good 600 10 Malibran, Maria,|d1808-1836. 650 0 Opera. 655 7 Features.|2mim 655 7 Personal/independent films.|2mim 690 German films. 700 1 Schroeter, Werner,|d1945-2010. 700 1 Hasperg, Ila von. 700 1 Montezuma, Magdalena. 700 1 Kaufman, Christine. 700 1 Darling, Candy,|d1944-1974. 700 1 Caven, Ingrid. 700 1 Riva, Manuela. 740 01 Death of Maria Malibran. 935 GLADN50874384 946 PFA 1616-60-2641.
