particularities
11.20 a.m. was the third ZDF crime trilogy , which became a so-called street sweeper with a viewer participation of over 70%. In addition to the first two trilogies, Death Runs Afterwards and Babeck also became a media event at 11:20 am . The ZDF produced the trilogy in order to create competition for the successful Durbridge films of the ARD, such as Das Halstuch , Tim Frazer or Melissa . In 1969, the ZDF television film Hotel Royal was also produced , and a large part of the staff and actors were again involved in its production.
It is noticeable that the Durbridge films previously shot on ARD are set in England. In the ZDF productions, however, the locations change. If the action of Death Runs afterwards took place in England and France , the location of the action at Babeck has already shifted to Germany and Italy . Finally, 11:20 am will be played in Turkey and Tunis .
All three Reinecker trilogies show decisive parallels. These lead the respective investigator (Fuchsberger or Lohner ) through a series of interlinked storylines to a surprising, but also for the investigator thoughtful or even pointless ending. Similar characters appear again and again, e.g. B. Gerd Baltus in Death chases to Siegfried Lowitz in Babeck , or Friedrich Joloff in its three roles.
Screenwriter Herbert Reinecker wrote the three-part series under the same name as a novel, which was published in 1971 by Goldmann Verlag under the number 4102.
The title theme, the title Minotti on the run and the song Black Power with Donna Summer were published on the CD Moonflowers & Mini-Skirts (1998, Marina Recordings MA 39) from the film music by the composer Peter Thomas . The CD also contains the song Forgot me, if you can with Senta Berger from Babeck .
Reviews
The thriller homepage says: "A top thriller that captivates from the start. The emphasis is on the beginning, because the third part is extremely drawn out and could easily have been shortened. The cast is [...] excellent and it is fun to watch these excellent actors . Solid directorial work by Wolfgang Becker. "
