3/10
Dull, talky thriller(?)
18 October 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Lots of well-known actors appear in this highly predictble Jekyll-and-Hyde rehash. Lil Dagover is great (and looks terrific) as the gushy Frau Dakar; Hans Albers and Willi Birgel are solid; and lovely Maria Holst, who falls for Albers (like they all do) despite their 25 year difference in age, does what she can with an underdeveloped character. It was odd to see Albers in an unattractive role as thief and murderer, as well as being involved in an entirely unconvincing romance. His suicide at the end lacks pathos and seems simply like the act of a coward.
