history

The show went on air for the first time on December 1, 1968 in the third television program NDR / RB / SFB with Werner Schwier as the presenter. From 1970, the TV quiz ran initially on the ARD main evening program, now with Hellmut Lange . Actually only intended as a guest presenter, he took over the series from October 7, 1970 to his last broadcast on December 16, 1980. Rainer Brandt continued the quiz from 1981 to 1984.

Before Hellmut Lange's era, the head of the NDR's entertainment department and television producer Henri Regnier , who was also involved in the development of this format, hosted the quiz once as a guest in 1970.

Game flow

The candidates were initially shown various excerpts from movies . For the films shown, questions about the title , the actors and the respective directors had to be answered. Five rounds were played with seven questions each. The respective winnings could amount to several thousand German marks . The television viewers also had the opportunity to take part in their own quizzes and could win cinema vouchers on this occasion.

In addition to the film excerpts shown, some of the participating actors, voice actors and directors also appeared and in the interview often told of the productions and shooting. In addition, current movies were presented to the television viewers.
