Retrospective

Menschen hinter Gittern

FromPaul Fejos

WithGustav Diessl, Heinrich George, Egon von Jordan, Paul Morgan, Dita Parlo, Anton Pointner

Year1931

Duration109min.

The US production, in which Morgan appears alongside Heinrich George and Gustav Diessl as a convict, premiered in Berlin on 24 June 1931. The reviews were positive. MENSCHEN HINTER GITTERN was not a ‘crime film with the usual romantic adventure [but] a matter of devastating force’. Everything else that had been shown in realistic crime films to date paled in comparison to this outstanding work.
