About The Murderers Are Coming
Brecht's play Fear and Misery of the Third Reich consists of a series of playlets, portraying National Socialist Germany of the 1930s as a land of poverty, violence, fear and pretence. Nazi antisemitism is depicted in several of the sketches, including "the Physicist", "Judicial Process", and "the Jewish Wife".
Directed by Vsevolod Pudovkin, Yuri Tarich, The Murderers Are Coming leans on a strong ensemble — Mikhail Astangov, Boris Blinov, Sofiya Magarill — 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 drama titles of 1942.
