"Interesting film with some really thoughtful details and noirish elements. The camera work was especially arresting with liberal facial close-ups and scenery that reminded me of "The Third Man".

💡 Did You Know?

For the first time in Rialto's Edgar Wallace series, this black-and-white film featured colored opening credits with blood-red letters on a b/w background. This tradition was kept in the future with many different colors used. Until the late '90s, the colored opening credits were always shown in black and white on German television and were sometimes unreadable.
