About Der Banditendoktor
Bandits force a cotton farmer to treat a young man who has been shot. Though the farmer has only basic medical experience he saves the boy's life. The bandits declare the farmer their doctor and he even teaches them to read and write.
Directed by Peter A. Horn, Der Banditendoktor leans on a strong ensemble — Alexander Golling, Gefion Helmke, Joachim Müller — 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 1957.
