|
| However, "Der Tunnel" (1933) was of course directed by Curtis

| The maps in the link point to Bavaria as the place for
| the German Hartls and Upper Austria for the Austrian
| Hartls. I would not be surprised if most of the Bavarian
| Hartls were from Lower Bavaria (or migrants from there to
| Munich), which borders on Upper Austria. For historical
| dialect geography, this would be the same area.[1][2]
|
| [1] See the Map on German dialects aprox. 1900 at
| Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_dialects
| The relevant area is no. 27. "Central Bavarian". Or this

|
| [2] Note that in written German there is a distinction
| that is lost in English spelling between the state of
| Bavaria ("Bayern", adj. "bayerisch") and the dialect (or
| some might even claim language -- it has its own ISO
| 639-3 code "bar") Bavarian ("Bairisch").

| about the construction of a mid-Atlantic airport island which
| ends in disaster [2]. I note that The Tunnel was re-made in
| English (or re-adapted from the source novel) the next year [3].
|
| Seems there was a good market for films about disasters under the
| Atlantic (or North Sea, at a pinch).

|
| Another such example is 'Andalusian Nights'[1] (German) with

|
| The opening has phenomenal cinematography, editing and singing
