Financial Opportunists (German: Konjunkturritter) is a 1934 German comedy film directed by Fritz Kampers and starring Weiss Ferdl, Sabine Peters and Hans Adalbert Schlettow.[1] The film's sets were designed by the art directors Gustav A. Knauer and Alexander Mügge. The title was a well-known phrase to attack Jews, and was one of the first openly anti-Semitic films produced under the Nazi regime.[2]
