The Man without Nerves is a German adventure silent film by and with Harry Piel from 1924.
action
Harry Peel has made a name for himself as the author of a sensational novel and is swarmed by the world of women. At the same time, a criminal, whom he had once handed over to the police and whom he had made literarily immortal in his novel, carried out an attack on him. But this fails, and the gangster has to be behind bars again. The man without nerves also has another problem on his neck, which is more of a romantic nature:
A friend of his has several creditors who are desperate to get their money back. Harry therefore comes up with the idea that his buddy absolutely needs a rich bride. When the chosen one threatens to float away in a tethered balloon against her will, the sensational author saves the lady at the risk of his life. It happens as it has to: both fall in love and become a couple. The friend's money worries are taken care of - as the coincidence of the film would have it - miraculously as if by themselves.
Production notes
The man without nerves was created in Berlin-Staaken and in the Efa studio at the zoo. The film passed the censorship on December 3, 1924 and was premiered on December 5, 1924 in the Alhambra on Kurfürstendamm. The strip was seven acts long and 2709 meters long. A youth ban has been issued.
The film structures were designed by Fritz Kraencke. Co-author Edmund Heuberger had the manager .
In 1935, Oskar Kalbus ' Vom Werden German Filmkunst' described the principle of Pielscher films as follows: “Even in the sensational films of the war, Harry Piel was the“ man without nerves ”. He has always remained the same, who carries out his sensations with his peculiar mastery of elegance and bravura. It is part of his personal bad luck in all of his films that criminals always pursue him, or else he is the liberator of persecuted innocence. Women especially like that. That is why Harry Piel was one of the most popular actors on the German screen in the silent film era. "
criticism
Paimann's film lists summed up: "The whole thing is to be viewed from the point of view of this original genre, but in this respect it is extremely exciting, consistently staged and well presented, all the more so than this time the exaggerations that usually appear in the plot of the Harry Piel films mostly missing. The photos and the presentation are also good, especially to mention outside photos of Paris. "
