action
The artist Erich Holsten gained fame and honor through a great misfortune: his friend Torreani, who was an important figure in the artist milieu, gave him this stage name along with the associated vaudeville in Berlin, so that Holsten can celebrate considerable success as a Torreani. The actual Torreani, on the other hand, is serving a long prison sentence in South America. With all his might, Holsten renovates and rebuilds the entertainment establishment and gives it a new shine. One day the original Torreani is at Holsten's door; he escaped from jail and returned to Europe.
With his return a great misfortune begins for everyone involved. The seductive Isabelle, who once made a name for herself as a dancer, wants to take bloody revenge on the returnees because she claims that he has destroyed her life. Before there can be a murder, Torreani becircts the hot-blooded woman, who then falls for him again. This in turn calls her mother on the scene, who believes that Torreani will bring her daughter to misfortune this time too, and shoots the artist. Erich Holsten is automatically suspected of being the culprit, as the police assume that the copy wanted to get rid of the original in order to avoid annoying competition. Only the confession of Isabelle's mother saves Holsten, who can then continue his artistic career.
Production notes
With Torreani , the 75-year-old cinema veteran Froelich ended his half-century work for the German film industry, which he had started as a cameraman. The film, shot in Berlin in the fall of 1951 (studio and outdoor), had its world premiere on December 21, 1951 in cinemas in Cologne, Düsseldorf and other German cities. The Berlin premiere was on January 17, 1952.
The Froelich employee Hermann Brüning took over the overall management, Fritz Klotzsch took over the production management. The film constructions come from Erich Kettelhut .
useful information
For Froelich and Fröhlich this was already the second collaboration in 1951. Immediately before this film, the producer and his main actor shot the old-fashioned love comedy Stips , Carl Froelich's last production. After Torreani , the 76-year-old cinematography veteran retired into private life.
As many times before ( Die 3 Codonas , Zirkus Renz , Tromba ) and afterwards ( Phantom of the Big Tent ) René Deltgen succeeded here as an adventurous and daring jack-of-all-trades in a film from the artist milieu.
criticism
The film service ruled: "A constructed, implausible entertainment film that imitates the narrative patterns of more successful models of this old film genre (such as" Truxa ")."
