The most famous serial killer film of those years: using chocolate hedgehogs, a man lures little children to their death. Heinz Rühmann plays the police detective in this film based on a screenplay by Friedrich Dürrenmatt who subsequently reworked it into the crime novel The Pledge (1958). (Locarno Festival)
Críticas (1)
A crime thriller from Switzerland, set in 1958? To sounds... well, at least peculiar, but in reality, it's a great example of crime films, where during the final reveal of the murderer, or rather during the scene where they reveal themselves, I was just staring at how good it was. It's a bit longer than it needs to be, but it's justified by building atmosphere and tension.
