About Die Physiker
A private psychiatric clinic: three physicists are staying here. Two of them claim to be Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton, respectively. The third is named Johann Wilhelm Möbius. The scientist has discovered the world formula, which poses a great danger: whoever possesses it holds the key to the destruction of all humanity. By presenting a false story, Möbius has managed to take refuge in the asylum, but he could not have known that two agents posing as Einstein and Newton are there with him, intent on stealing the formula from him...
Directed by Fritz Umgelter, Die Physiker leans on a strong ensemble — Therese Giehse, Gustav Knuth, Kurt Ehrhardt — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1964.
