About Herr Sanders lebt gefährlich
Until now, the detective stories by author Paul Sanders had always sold splendidly – likely due in no small part to the fact that he always tested all his murderous tricks on his long-suffering secretary, and that all the cases came from the archive of his friend Caspar Natter, a retired police detective. Sanders was all the more shocked, therefore, when his publisher informed him that readers were no longer interested in his books, a fact confirmed by the weak sales figures.
Directed by Robert A. Stemmle, Herr Sanders lebt gefährlich leans on a strong ensemble — Paul Verhoeven, Gretl Schörg, Else von Möllendorff — 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 1944.
