Theatrical Release Information | See Details About All Versions
The directorial career of Robert Siodmak continue to gain momentum with his third solo effort, Voruntersuchung (Inquest) When a prostitute is murdered, suspicion falls on Gustav Froelich, the son of a magistrate. A victim of circumstantial evidence, Froelich must endure the hell of a preliminary hearing, where he is subjected to the gloves-off approach of the deceptively avuncular prosecuting attorney Albert Basserman. Voruntersuchung was based on a novel by real-life Berlin lawyer Dr. Max Alsberg. It was filmed simultaneously by director Henri Chanotte (under Siodmak's supervision) in a French-language version, Auteur d'une Etiquette. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
