Pastor Iseli is a Swiss dialect film by Albert Buchmüller from 1970.
action
The bar and animation lady Maria Kunz is found strangled in her apartment on Helvetiastrasse. Gaudenz Moser is seen at the crime scene when he drives away on his motorcycle. He has an accident and is arrested. All the evidence speaks against him. His brother Vinzenz Moser calls Iseli, the pastor of his home municipality in Graubünden, for help.
He immediately goes to Zurich, where the case has already been clarified for the police, as there is a confession. Pastor Iseli, who is gifted with a sense of forensic crime, does not believe in Gaudenz Moser's guilt and starts his own investigations in the Zurich milieu. In the vicinity of the dead he can spot several suspects who stand out due to their behavior, including the divorced husband, his business partner, a competing employee and a vicar.
The resolution of the case is delayed by the appearance of his housekeeper who worries about his health, the intervention of the commissioner who fears illegal acts and two tabloid journalists who suspect something big. Pastor Iseli uses a trick to convict the real perpetrator.
background
Hans Jörg Tobler took the successful five-part radio play Helvetiastrasse 17 as an opportunity to aim for a film adaptation. The script was written by the radio play author himself. Most of the speakers in the radio play series, including the popular actors Ruedi Walter and Margrit Rainer , were able to be engaged for the film.
The shooting took place in August 1969.
It was premiered on January 23, 1970 at the Capitol cinema in Zurich. It was the first dialect film that appeared after Die 6 Kummer-Buben from 1968. The Swiss television broadcast the comedy thriller from September 29 1974th On June 13, 2010, shortly before the 20th anniversary of the main actor's death, the restored theatrical version was shown on screen.
Reviews
"Undemanding, entertaining dialect film, mixed together from well-known clichés, Swiss slapstick and some embarrassments."
