About An Alibi for Death
Lawyer Maria Rohn takes on the case of Martin Siebeck. The truck driver allegedly ran over a man on the highway. Siebeck denies the crime and states that two people threw the victim in front of his truck at full speed. The more Maria Rohn looks into the case, the more she notices inconsistencies. Her husband Günther is also behaving more and more strangely. It seems that he was also involved in the accident...
Directed by Alfred Vohrer, An Alibi for Death leans on a strong ensemble — Ruth Leuwerik, Peter van Eyck, Charles Regnier — 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 1963.
