About Panic Time
The musician Udo Lindenberg (played by himself) is kidnapped during the party after a concert. Nobody realises this until the next day, when he doesn't show up in time for a rehearsal. Since the police believes this is only a promotion gag, private eye Kuhlmann (also played by Udo Lindenberg) has to be hired to find him in time.
Directed by Udo Lindenberg, Peter Fratzscher, Panic Time leans on a strong ensemble — Udo Lindenberg, Walter Kohut, Vera Tschechowa — 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 crime titles of 1980.
