Plush thrillers were in the 1970s complicated and detailed, as well as original factory staged television adaptations of classic detective fiction called that aired 1971-1980 especially in the WDR and the director Wilhelm Semmelroth were staged. Because of the costumes and pompous furnishings, the films were dubbed "plush thriller" by the press. A special feature of the films, which featured high-profile casts (including René Deltgen , Günter Strack , Theo Lingen , Siegfried Lowitz , Heidelinde Weis , Helmut Käutner , Pinkas Braun , Ellen Schwiers , Paul Dahlke ) and, among others, novels by Wilkie Collins or Émile Gaboriau based, was the slow narrative style. Director Semmelroth himself said: "In my films, the carriages set the pace". The two or three-part productions were a great success with the public and generated high ratings. They were so-called street sweepers . Inspired by these films, a series produced by the SWF based on novels by Hedwig Courths-Mahler was created . Herbert Asmodi wrote the scripts for all of the WDR's plush thrillers , and Hans Jönsson always wrote the music . The two-parter Der Vetter Basilio from 1969, also staged by Wilhelm Semmelroth, can be seen as a forerunner of the plush thriller .
