Two rival police inspectors, Boucheron and Baumer, investigate the murder of the owner of a well-to-do apartment block.

The murder weapon is a knife which belongs to a resident knife thrower, Picking, and which is found in the room of a kleptomaniac, Corbeau. No sooner have these two suspects been arrested than a young bank clerk, André, confesses – not to the murder but to defrauding his employer. Could the murderer be the sinister Eric, who is revealing his nasty character during a game of cards? Could it be the unscrupulous Alfredo, a classy crook who abuses women? Or could it be the son of the respectable Président Bernier, eager to repay his father for having a mistress? As they delve deeper into the private lives of the dead woman’s tenants, Boucheron and Baumer make more than a few surprising discoveries. But will they solve the crime..?Read More »

Quote:
Two rival sports equipment companies and their heirs, Jadzia and Jan, whose meeting will become a source of funny misunderstandings.

In 1936 “Wiadomości Filmowe” published an enthusiastic review of the comedy:

“There is no doubt that the producers of the new Polish film with Jadwiga Smosarska in the lead role were the main actors of the comedy. “Jadzia” was a good fit with the tone and taste of the broadest layers of Polish film lovers. However, this picture, with its excellent screenplay design, is kept unpretentious in its unpretentious form with praiseworthy simplicity. The main goal of the producers, i.e. the scriptwriters, and especially director Mieczysław Krawicz, was for the audience to have a good time. And he achieved his goal”.Read More »

Young Heini Volker has a problem. His unemployed father demands he joins Berlin’s young communists. But his heart belongs to the Hitler Youth. As violence escalates between these camps, Heini’s quandary deepens. How he finds his way to National Socialism is the story of Hitlerjunge Quex. Produced in 1933, just after Hitler’s ascension to power, this movie draws from the real-life story of Herbert Norkus, a Hitler Youth killed by communists in 1932. With its vivid recreations of Depression-era misery, it offers a fascinating portrait of Berlin’s working-class life viewed through the transformative lens of Nazi ideology. An immediate box office success, the film became a Nazi propaganda staple, viewed by 20 million by 1945.Read More »
