Slow paced heist movie

Here we have a very unusual film from the Edgar Wallace series. Yes, this film, too, was produced by a German company for a German audience. And yes, it features typical actors like Eddi Arendt and Klaus Kinski. The film centers on the theft of the British Crown Jewels from the Tower of London. The elaborate preparations for this major event make the film incredibly slow and tedious in the middle. This sets it apart from other Edgar Wallace films of the time. It lacks atmospheric density and a consistent storyline. For this reason, it's probably an overlooked film.

West German GRUSELKRIMI with Albert LIEVEN and Margot TROOGER

Not exactly my favorite Wallace flick!

The co-production with the British means there is more London flair than usual, but the heist film elements are all too comforting. Eddi Arent is extremely annoying as a West German tourist, he reminded me a lot of the idiot who is made fun of by Audrey Hepburn in "Charade". That's how the European neighbors saw the annoying Teutons!

Catherine Schell (later the sister-in-law of world star Hildegard Knef) and the ladylike Margot Trooger, who made a much more impression as the "Ringer"'s wife, also act disappointingly.

Ultimately, it's a matter of taste: for me, the film is a trivial, run-of-the-mill crime thriller; I miss the silly, scary atmosphere of the other West German Edgar Wallace films.
