Little Dorrit (German: Klein Dorrit) is a 1934 German drama film directed by Karel Lamač and starring Gustav Waldau, Anny Ondra, and Hilde Hildebrand.[1] It is an adaptation of Charles Dickens' 1857 Victorian era novel Little Dorrit, and made a sharp contrast to the light comedies and musicals that Ondra usually appeared in.[2] The film's sets were designed by the art directors Wilhelm Depenau and Erich Zander.
