About Der Maulkorb
Out of outrage, the usually proper prosecutor Treskow, after a night of heavy drinking, adorns the statue of the local ruler with a muzzle. The next morning, he can’t remember a thing due to his intoxication. In the meantime, his act has been discovered and is causing a scandal. Of all people, Treskow is assigned the task of tracking down the culprit...
Directed by Wolfgang Staudte, Der Maulkorb leans on a strong ensemble — O.E. Hasse, Hertha Feiler, Hansjörg Felmy — 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 comedy titles of 1958.
