About Der Schatz vom Toplitzsee
Shortly before the end of the war, SS officer Grohmann sinks several crates of counterfeit English money in Lake Toplitz with his comrade Kopetzky. The former Nazi used the money to build a career in business in post-war Germany. His buddy also benefits from this “new beginning”. That's when reporter Wolfgang Löhde gets on their trail...
Directed by Franz Antel, Der Schatz vom Toplitzsee leans on a strong ensemble — Joachim Hansen, Gert Fröbe, Werner Peters — 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 1959.
