This forgotten gem has won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film of the Year. This is the second film adapted from Gerhard Hauptmann's naturalistic play; Vor Sonnenntergang”； (1931) Do not "confuse" with his more important plays; Vor Sonnenaufgang”； (Still lacking in film processing). The first film was adapted from Werther Haran's 1937 film "Der Herrscher," which unfortunately changed the original ending to adapt to Nazi ideology, the elderly, and demanded a final "step back." However, after encountering a young girl named Inken, he found a new meaning in life and decided to marry her, which faced opposition from his family and company members. They soon tried to get him into a shelter. Hans Alber's performance was heartbreaking from start to finish, which was clearly one of his most serious performances ever. Inken, played by Anne D ü ringer, may have been even better. But she still did well, especially in her first dialogue sequence. Equally good is Claus Biederstaedt, who seems to play the role of the spoiled sun; In the end, he became his father's only loyal supporter. The best parts of this movie may be Erich Schellow (MacHeath in Lotte Lenya's "Three Penny Opera") and Dr. Wolfgang Mabuse; Price, most importantly: the unparalleled Martin Herd. Although the initial script was set in their early thirties, they were completely successful in portraying the dark side and; Efficient; the economic backwardness of West Germany in the 1950s, which is now known as Germany's "cold" era; Wirtschafftswunder; ("Economic Miracle"). Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman"; Since 1949, it has covered some similar issues. What is no longer needed are discarded things and people, and most importantly, an unpleasant past (which may be the only surprising and mundane issue in this excellent German post-war film). If this movie is almost forgotten today, it may be because cinematography is "enough"; Instead of being excellent;. The original music is great and adds a lot of atmosphere. However, directors and cinematographers, although sometimes exciting, often convey the feeling of a movie theater.
