Dürrenmattinée
When peddler Jacquier finds the body of a young girl and reports it to the police, he becomes the main suspect. But inspector Matthäi (Heinz Rühmann) believes he’s innocent, and begins his own investigation in an attempt to find the real killer. Dürrenmatt developed this original screenplay into the novel ‘Das Versprechen’.
