Money on the Street (German: '''Geld auf der Straße'''|lit=Gold on the Street) is a 1930 Austrian-German romantic comedy film directed by Georg Jacoby and starring Lydia Pollman, Georg Alexander, and Franz Schafheitlin. It is notable for the screen debut of Hedy Lamarr, who played a small role as an extra.
A young woman tries to escape her fate of marriage to a dull, but wealthy fiancée.
The film was made by Sascha Film, Austria's largest production company, at the Sievering Studios in Vienna.[1] It was the first sound film made in Austria, facilitated by an agreement made with the German firm Tobis Film who supplied the sound recording equipment. The story was adapted from a play by Rudolf Bernauer. The film's art direction was by Hans Jacoby and Emil Stepanek.
