ESCAPE INTO GENRE FILM – DANDIES AND LADIES
Introduction: Stefan Jung (film scholar and author)
This entertaining spy film is driven by a race to find secret blueprints for an anti-aircraft defense system, the recovery of which leads secret service agent Captain Bergall (Hans Albers) from Venice to Rome, and to the art dealer Tschernikoff (Albert Bassermann). Fast-paced, with snappy dialogue and a first-rate cast, this film reflects Lamprecht’s craftsmanship in genre adaptations, which is characteristic of his work from the 1930s and 1940s.
