Der steinerne Reiter 1923 (The Stone Rider)

The main female role in this silent film is played by Lucie Mannheim, Conrad Veidt's first lover, thanks to whom Conrad became acquainted with the art of cinema, and the world received a brilliant actor. It turns out that Lucie was a wonderful actress. In this film, her working partners are Rudolf Klein-Rogge ("Doctor Mabuse", "Metropolis", etc.) and Gustav von Wangenheim ("Nosferatu").

Alfred Hitchcock's 'The 39 Steps' on Max and Criterion Channel

The 39 Steps (1935), Alfred Hitchcock’s first great romantic thriller, smoothly plays the “wrong man” gambit with the light, black-humored grace that would reach its apex in North by Northwest. Robert Donat stars as Richard Hanay, an affable Canadian tourist in London who becomes embroiled in a deadly conspiracy when a mysterious spy winds up murdered in his rented flat and both the police and a…

“Nachts auf den Straßen” (1952) von Rudolf Jugert

Seit Jahrzehnten ist Heinrich Schlüter (Hans Albers) als selbstständiger Fuhrunternehmer tätig. Sowohl bei seinen Kollegen als auch bei der Verkehrspolizei verfügt der biedere Familienvater, der mit seiner Frau Anna (Lucie Mannheim) ein bescheidenes Haus bewohnt und dessen Tochter Lieschen erst kürzlich geheiratet hat, über eine ausgezeichnete Reputation. Als Schlüter eines Nachts bei einem auf der Autobahn tödlich Verunglückten einen Briefumschlag mit 20.000 Mark findet, beabsichtigt er zunächst, das Geld an die Polizei auszuhändigen, überlegt es sich jedoch anders, als er erfährt, dass der Betrag aus Devisenschiebereien stammt. Bei einer seiner zahlreichen Nachtfahrten nimmt Schlüter die attraktive Inge Hoffmann (Hildegard Knef) als Anhalterin mit. Er ahnt nicht, dass die wesentlich jüngere Frau von ihrem Liebhaber Kurt Willbrand (Marius Goring) gezielt darauf angesetzt wurde, einen Fernfahrer für dessen geplante kriminelle Transaktionen - den Schmuggel von Pelzen aus der DDR in die BRD - zu gewinnen ... Rudolf Jugerts stimmungsvoller und spannender Kriminalfilm zeichnet ein authentisches Zeitbild und wartet mit sehr interessanten schauspielerischen Leistungen auf. Das gilt jedoch nicht für den Hauptdarsteller, dessen wie üblich wenig nuanciertes Spiel mir auch hier nicht zusagt, sondern der statt dessen mit seiner Film-Liaison mit einer mehr als 35 Jahre jüngeren Partnerin ebenso für Fremdschämmomente sorgt wie der Versuch des damals 61jährigen - am Ende des Films erfährt der von Albers gespielte Charakter, dass er Großvaterfreuden entgegensieht! - Boogie-Woogie mit ihr zu tanzen oder er sich allen Ernstes als “moralisch Entrüsteter” das “Recht” herausnimmt, sie heftig zu ohrfeigen, da sie es gewagt hat, ihn zu hintergehen - während er seine außerehelichen Eskapaden mit ihr geflissentlich bagatellisiert. Hildegard Knef hingegen ist erfrischend als selbstbewusste und energische junge Frau, die sich geschickt zur Wehr zu setzen weiß. Den weitaus interessantesten Part jedoch hat der Engländer Marius Goring inne. Der Brite, der seine ausgezeichneten Deutschkenntnisse während seiner Studienaufenthalte in Frankfurt. München und Wien erwarb, liefert eine hervorragende Charakterstudie des ins kriminelle Milieu abgedrifteten und nicht zuletzt aufgrund seines Marihuanakonsums zur Linderung einer Kriegsverletzung permanent zwischen Manie und Depression, zwischen Zynismus und Verletzlichkeit schwankenden ehemaligen Jagdfliegers Kurt Willbrand. Wie in einigen seiner Filme stellt der begabte Hobbypianist Goring auch hier sein Talent unter Beweis und gibt sogar ein Chanson mit dem Titel “Schwarzer Kaffee” zum besten. Marius Goring und Lucie Mannheim waren von 1941 bis 1976 mit einander verheiratet und traten auch häufig gemeinsam auf der Bühne und in Filmen auf.

The 39 Steps (1935)

My rating: 7/10

I think there must be several versions of this movie, because this had a bunch of stuff I did not remember, yet not a single mention of the Nazis I spoke of in my first review. Still, a great early example of the "innocent man on the run" subgenre Hitchcock helped popularize, and good times all around.

Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll in The 39 Steps (Alfred Hitchcock, 1935)

Cast: Robert Donat, Madeleine Carroll, Lucie Mannheim, Godfrey Tearle, Peggy Ashcroft, John Laurie, Helen Haye, Frank Cellier, Wylie Watson, Frederick Piper, Gus McNaughton, Jerry Verno. Screenplay: Charles Bennett, Ian Hay, based on a novel by John Buchan. Cinematography: Bernard Knowles. Art direction: Oscar Friedrich Werndorff, Albert Jullion. Film editing: Derek N. Twist. Music: Jack Beaver, Louis Levy.

The 39 Steps, Alfred Hitchcock's first great film, contains an object lesson in how to end a movie. Rather than tie everything up in a neat package Hitchcock simply ends after the confession and death of Mr. Memory (Wylie Watson) -- shot with beautiful irony against a background of high-kicking chorus girls -- in a closeup of Hannay (Robert Donat) and Pamela (Madeleine Carroll) holding hands, the handcuffs still dangling from Hannay's wrist. Nothing more needs to be said or shown, although a scene was apparently shot in which it's made more explicit that Hannay and Pamela are now a couple. Who needs it? The 39 Steps established Hitchcock as the master of the romantic thriller. There are those who regret that he never moved very far out of that genre, and who wish that he could have devoted himself to more highly serious material -- Dostoevsky, perhaps -- instead of popular authors like John Buchan, who wrote the novel on which the film is based. But that's the kind of aesthetic puritanism that leads directors astray into high-minded dullness. We should be grateful that Hitchcock never succumbed to it, and that he continued to devote himself to an almost unique economy of narrative and to developing his skill at creating ways to distract the viewer from noticing a story's holes. How, exactly, does Hannay get from the Forth Bridge to the Scottish Highlands? By the same sleight-of-hand that gets Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) from New York to Chicago to Mount Rushmore in North by Northwest (1959), of course. And again, who cares? It's also the first of his films to rely on star power, the charisma and charm of the young Donat and the first of the director's "icy blonds," Carroll, who was never more appealing than in this film. At the same time, he also acknowledges the necessity of supporting players who can give the film texture and depth. I'm speaking here particularly of such narrative filigree as the crofter (John Laurie) and his wife (Peggy Ashcroft), the milkman (Frederick Piper) who lends Hannay his white coat and cap, the traveling salesmen (Gus McNaughton and Jerry Verno) on the train, and the professor's wife (Helen Haye) who is so unperturbed at seeing her husband (Godfrey Tearle) pointing a gun at Hannay. These are mostly the creations of Hitchcock and his screenwriter, Charles Bennett, and not John Buchan. Who reads Buchan anymore? Who doesn't want to watch Hitchcock's film again?
