criticism

Paimann's film lists summed up: “On the one hand, the subject is pleasantly noticeable due to its departure from the usual Harry Piel template, but would undoubtedly have gained interest due to the more compact version. The presentation is very good in all roles, the make-up and photography are satisfactory. Beautiful high mountain images deserve special mention. "
