Das Laster is a German silent film drama from 1915 directed by Richard Oswald and starring Alfred Abel .
action
The subject is alcoholism , which at times can develop into a terrible family tradition. Paul is the son of a drinker. One day he is killed in an inn. Despite the bad example set by his father, Paul is also unable to give up alcohol and, despite good resolutions, reaches for the schnapps bottle more and more often and, like his father, increasingly declines. One day there is a catastrophe in his drunkenness.
Production notes

criticism
“Never before have we found the end of the drinker to the last stage of delirium tremens as gripping and exciting as the art of Alfred Abel brings about. What we see here on the film is an achievement that is probably one of the most powerful that artistic creative power has been able to create so far. "
