The White Ecstasy (film)

The White Ecstasy (German: Der weiße Rausch) is a 1931 German mountain film written and directed by Arnold Fanck and starring Hannes Schneider, Leni Riefenstahl, Guzzi Lantschner, and Walter Riml.

Filmed on location in Sankt Anton am Arlberg, the film was one of the first to use and develop outdoor film-making techniques and featured several innovative action-skiing scenes.

Two Tyrolean skiing stars, Walter Riml and Guzzi Lantschner, have important parts in this movie.

A Weisse Rausch downhill race, based on the film, is held every April in St.
