A man was killed in railroad line Paris-Bordeaux. As it Turns Out, ist was the Hausband of Regina, who is in Holidays. She ist talking about divorce, but find's out, that it ist already too late: the Inspecteur asks her to identify the das man.

He is also telling her about the Secrets of her Husband and she s hot surprised, that she doesn't know her own relatives. Another fact is, that Charles sold everything in their appartement, including clothes. Anyway the Secrets Service ist looking for 250.000 US Dollars in Gold, using a quartett of violent Killers to get it. Wonder how man's Times the Story is told to uninvolved Loving Girlfriends and wifes?

Well, Anna Kalman ist a beautiful, rich and bright woman with clear class consciousness. He maybe too, but he ist a man in the First place and he plays hard to get. So hard, it seems, she already looses Interest in getting married. And he, ist seems, ist not longer charming. The way he shows off at the dance. Of course 'making party' was not the same then. Als an actrrss, perhaps she would be able to do Tap dance too nowadays, to steal back the show from him. (Should she? She ist not a Young girl any more and Boulevard Press draws strict lines in 50ies.)

It seems, for Anna the life at his side was allright, this way. Did she had a choice?

Well, to tell the truth, ist's a bit irritating, that it IS shown so clear: war crime. It is a bit like getting near a secret, not an Entertainment Produkt. It seems, no one thought about putting IT in 'poison cupboars' or it already was there and after the years there ist no crime seen in IT anymore. But there ist the question: is the movie glorifying violence? And does it involve consenting to torture? When there is cept the mother in custody, while the son is acting? Even the line 'Ich bin Nationalsozialist!' lets me think we are entertained by death. But it is ong ago. Nothing could happen anymore. Shouldn't we bei careful? Could WE rate IT.

The change in Austrias filmmaking. When the Republik of Austria received back the souveranity in 1955, the people had suffered, survived and build up infrastructure again. The 'Heimatfilm, shot in the villages far away from all war-action, changed face in the seventies, but showed the 'bad faces' too, not just the smiling. And a lot of the Bad Moments leaded into war, ist mentioned at Alpensaga. IT IS controversial, sometimes hurting and has the potential to create a Movie-Festival, because in Austria and the States of former Republik of yugoslavia are controversial directions necessary to be discussed, if the freedom in europe should continue.
