Reviews
“This piece gives us the highest degree of intellectual stimulation and stimulates us to make a wide variety of assumptions, which turn out to be erroneous again and again, until the solution finally occurs in a completely unexpected way (...) The treatment is just as interesting and exciting as the subject the same and the technical implementation of the director Rudolf Meinert, who is a master in his field. "
In Paimann's film lists you can read: "Material and game very good, scenery and photos excellent."
