Rabmadár – Prisoner Number Seven

The starting point for this story of an exciting and eventful night is a sensational report in the tabloid press: An innocent woman is sent to prison instead of her fiancé. With the help of a prison doctor, she is able to escape for a few hours and see her beloved. However, the head waiter at a hotel is no pushover himself and gets involved with an exotic artist with criminal intentions ...

In his astonishing directorial debut, an international production at the very end of the silent film era, Paul Sugar foreshadows things to come with his focus on modern, light camera movements, impressive images and not least with his feeling for rhythm and montage - which elevates the film far beyond the level of colportage.
