Info

This East German movie was co-produced with studios in Hungary and Yugoslavia, with many interesting location shots (border checkpoint to West Berlin, the Gellert bath in Budapest, and more). The plot is about French drug dealers, who obtain heroin somewhere in the Middle East, and smuggle it in several steps to East Berlin, and from there to France (or so it appears), killing when necessary. The hero is an officer of East German customs, who with detective work, some masquerade, and occasional violent action ultimately unravels the whole network, of course with the support of the local customs departments.

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The soundtrack is acceptable, with music typical of thrillers in the 1960s. Eva-Maria Hagen is one actress whose name I am aware of, and she played the Hungarian air hostess decently. I found the Yugoslav girl more intense though, but don't see her listed in the credits.All in all, an interesting viewing experience. I wasn't on the edge of my seat, but not disappointed either :)
