About The Indecent Profit
Criminal police and antitrust officials arrive at the headquarters of a plastics raw materials factory. They pored over files, seized materials, and discovered price lists, which were, of course, encrypted. Their suspicions of illegal price-fixing with apparent competitors, driven purely by greed, grew stronger and were ultimately confirmed, but they were unable to prove them. Bernd Schiedel, the company's sales manager and caught in the conflict between loyalty to his employer and the company, had initiated the operation himself by providing information.
Directed by Thomas Mitscherlich, The Indecent Profit leans on a strong ensemble — Dorothea Moritz, Grischa Huber, Peter Fitz — 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 screen titles of 1978.
