FILMS SHOT IN MONACO - MONTE CARLO MADNESS  

In partnership with the Audiovisual Institute of Monaco, the Stamp Issuing Office is continuing its new cinema series featuring the posters of films shot in Monaco. 

The stamp shows the Swedish poster for the German film Bomben auf Monte Carlo (Monte Carlo Madness), directed by Hanns Schwarz. This musical comedy, which was released in 1931, is the adaptation of a novel by Friedrich Reck-Malleczewen. It tells the story of the captain of a boat flying the flag of the Kingdom of Pontenero who goes to Monte-Carlo to meet the local Consul and demand his wages and those of his crew. The Queen of Pontenero, who has stowed away on board, manipulates the captain by making him gamble at the casino.
