This episode of the ground-breaking German TV Classic "Der Kommissar" shows up some of the shallow mores of "Wirtschaftswunder Era" Germany: Social status, i.e. material means are viewed as more important that love; a man with money is always Mr. Right. It also degrades the role of women as either plain yet useful, or stunningly beautiful while lacking any other measurable quality as a person. In the chauvinist world of the 1960s and 70s, that was "the way it was". Sad but true. - With those dated ideas in mind, the story is predictable. For a fan of the legendary series, it's still a nostalgic hour of reminiscing about "the way things were" back in the old days...of television. Seeing The Kommissar Eric Ode crack another case makes it all worth the while.
