Review :

ENTERTAINING BUT MANNERED

The fact that this film ever received a prize for best film (Germany 1955) says more about the then situation of the German cinema and the jury than about this film. It is surely not a bad or mediocre film, but also not a prize deserving one. It is a very entertaining and with care made and directed melodrama/crime thriller based on a script with with one major weakness: with its constant flashbacks and dream sequences it is on the verge of mannerism.

The cast is extremely good (and another reason why this melodrama works), but I should have preferred Winnie Markus as best actress over Lili Palmer (an in my view overrated actress): while Markus' acting is still fresh and to the point, Palmer in several scenes overdoes things.
