A spy thriller from the time of Adenauer cinema
Yes, there is such a thing! It tells the story of agent Erich Gimpel (Martin HELD), who was actually supposed to spy on the Americans' suspected nuclear program during the Second World War. For a film from the fifties, this is done in a very exciting way. In addition to Werner KLINGLER (director) and Herbert REINECKER (screenplay), Kurt ULRICH (1905-1967) as a producer ensures a respectable quality. With his BEROLINA, ULRICH was one of the most successful producers of German-language post-war films. What isn't quite as successful is that the smart title character is given a love story with Nadja TILLER as a beautiful American woman. Well, it has to be that way!
Otherwise there will be a reunion with some of the busy stars of the Adenauer cinema: Walter GILLER, Viktor STAAL, Gustav KNUTH, Heinz DRACHE, Günter PFITZMANN and Werner PETERS do the honors.
Definitely a little pearl of the German-speaking film industry!
