Directed by Joe May
Joe May, Ufa, 1929. Gustav Fröhlich is a traffic cop. Betty Amann is a jewel thief who gets her bracelet caught and then gets him. Late silent Berlin: wet streets, a parental apartment, a modern bedroom. New Objectivity more than painted dread. It belongs here as the movement's aftertaste.
