action

A nameless, mysterious young woman, who is only called Supergirl, confuses a number of men, including the writer Evers, not only with her unearthly beauty. She claims to come from the third planet of the star Alpha Centauri and warns of the invasion of Earth by the warring party of her planet. After she was also presented to the President of the United States, she disappears without a trace.

production

The film was made in 1970 on behalf of WDR. In 2013 it was digitally restored with the support of the FFA and alleskino.

criticism

The lexicon of international films judged: "A sympathetic comedy by Rudolf Thome, who tried to direct a playful, tricky Howard Hawks film in Munich in 1970, but failed because of too many clichés and the television production conditions."
