Der Postmeister

The non-aggression pact signed between Germany and the Soviet Union in August 1939 was the perfect time for this literary adaptation of a Russian classic: Heinrich George, formidable in every respect, slips into the coarse and naive title role, whose beautiful daughter Dunja falls in with a supposedly respectable cavalry captain from the city ... After the start of the war in 1941, the extremely successful film disappears from cinemas again. (Florian Widegger)
