''The Great King'' ((ドイツ語:Der große König)) is a 1942 German drama film directed by Veit Harlan and starring Otto Gebühr.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New York Times: The Great King )〕 It depicts the life of Frederick the Great, who ruled Prussia from 1740 to 1786. It received the rare "Film of the Nation" distinction.〔Erwin Leiser, ''Nazi Cinema'' p116 ISBN 0-02-570230-0〕 It was part of a popular cycle of "Prussian films". The film is a depiction of the Führerprinzip, with the analogy to Hitler being so clear that Hitler sent a print to Mussolini, and Goebbels warning against the drawing of the comparison in print, in particular because the pessimistic mood that opens the film.〔Erwin Leiser, ''Nazi Cinema'' p113-4 ISBN 0-02-570230-0〕 After a sergeant gives an unauthorized order, the king orders him promoted and punished; his decision to desert after this results in his death, because no disobedience is justified.〔 Goebbels declared that the parallels were not a matter of propaganda but an obvious result of the parallels of history.〔Pierre Aycoberry ''The Nazi Question'', p10 Pantheon Books New York 1981〕 Goebbels also regarded as it instructing that their current sufferings would strengthen them.〔Cinzia Romani, ''Tainted Goddesses: Female Film Stars of the Third Reich'' p93 ISBN 0-9627613-1-1〕 Goebbels had some difficulty with the Army High Command over this film, because it depicted the king left in a lurch by his general, and complained that the army felt that any depiction, however historical, reflected badly on them.〔 ==Cast== * Otto Gebühr as Friedrich II. * Kristina Söderbaum as Luise Treskow * Gustav Fröhlich as Treskow * Hans Nielsen as Niehoff * Paul Wegener as General Czernitscheff * Paul Henckels as Grenadier Spiller * Elisabeth Flickenschildt as Spiller's Wife * Kurt Meisel as Alfons * Hilde Körber as Elisabeth * Claus Clausen as Prinz Heinrich der Ältere * Klaus Detlef Sierck as Prinz Heinrich der Jüngere * Herbert Hübner as Graf Finkenstein * Franz Schafheitlin as Oberst Bernburg * Otto F.
