action

Inez Diaz and her father work in a Paris bar. One day they read in the newspaper that a certain Renard, owner of a mine in the Australian outback, is visiting Berlin. Inez is electrified by this news and wants to travel to the German capital immediately, since she believes that Renard once murdered her mother. She plans to take revenge on this man.

Together with their father and a friend, they travel to Berlin as the title-giving Bund der Drei, to confront Renard with their accusation. In the hotel where Renard stayed, Inez met his son, the handsome Henri Renard. Suddenly she falls in love with him. Fortunately, Inez's assumption turns out to be wrong, old Renard has nothing to do with her mother's death. When the real perpetrator is caught, nothing stands in the way of the young happiness for a future together.

Production notes

The Bund der Drei was created from July to September 1929 in the Berlin area and at Wilkendorf Castle near Strausberg and was premiered on December 12, 1929 in Berlin's UFA pavilion on Nollendorfplatz. The film was 1,869 meters long, divided into six acts.

Willi A. Herrmann designed the film structures.

This was Jenny Jugo's last silent film.

criticism

“Another opportunity for Jenny Jugo to show herself from her prettiest sides and to smile with grace on a subject dipped in minor and framed with sad shadows from the past. It has become the most successful Yugoslavian film this season. "
