Note
  1. "In the fateful year of 1931, on the eve of Hitler's seizure of power, a brilliantly talented and courageous group in Berlin produced an historic motion picture, freely adapted from the enormously popular Brecht-Weill '3 penny opera'...After many years of search, a complete negative was found --the original negative and all prints having been destroyed by the Nazis."--Prologue.
  2. Videocassette release of the 1931 motion picture.
  3. The source material for this film, the 1928 stage musical The threepenny opera by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, was loosely based on the play The beggars' opera by John Gay (1685-1732).
