Werner Peters enjoyably essays another of his sweaty losers and the depiction of Bruno as a squalid dimwit makes a change from the Hannibal Lecter fantasy of the suave serial-killing mastermind.

Fascinating study of criminal justice in the crumbling Nazi empire of 1944.

If Siodmak was less a determinist than Lang, he was also less icy -- he views the fall-guy ordeal of piggy, pathetically lecherous officer Werner Peters with characteristic sympathy.

This fascinating 1957 film, based on a true story, concerns the hunt for a serial killer by the Nazi regime.
