The Curse of the Hidden Vault (1964) is a typical early Rialto Edgar Wallace krimi. In other words it's hugely entertaining. Some good plot twists and visually impressive and imaginative, especially the wonderful hidden vault complex sets. Plus, Klaus Kinski!

The Hound of Blackwood Castle (1968), one of the later colour German Rialto Edgar Wallace krimis, with a bit of a Hound of the Baskervilles vibe this time. A visual delight, with the gothic trappings laid on extra thick. Hugely enjoyable.

The Man with the Glass Eye (1969) is a late entry in Rialto's German Edgar Wallace krimi cycle. Maybe not the equal of the classic early krimis (and with a bit more blood) but rather enjoyable with some nice slightly surreal touches.

The Red Circle (1960), the second of Rialto's German Edgar Wallace krimis. There's a blackmail racket, a question of inheritance, a sexy bad girl and lots of murders. Well-paced, well-crafted, stylish and wildly and deliriously entertaining.

Sissi (1955), the most famous and most successful entry in the German heimatfilm genre. If you’re in the mood for a lightweight feelgood fluffy romance with a fairytale vibe then this is just what you’re looking for.

It made Romy Schneider a star and she's adorable.

So just did a thing and uploaded a slideshow to YouTube with posters, lobby cards and promotional images for the Rialto Edgar Wallace Krimi DER HEXER aka THE MYSTERIOUS MAGICIAN based on Wallace's novel THE RINGER.

Hope you like. I may do more along those lines sometime in the future.

Joe May’s 1929 German silent film Asphalt, both the last gasp of German Expressionism and the first step on the road to film noir. A young cop is seduced into a noir nightmare world by a sexy jewel thief femme fatale.

Betty Amann's performance is a highlight.

Not pure noir but noirish.

„Ich hatte da neulich einen Traum, da hat das Kapital den Terrorismus erfunden, um den Staat zu zwingen es besser zu schützen. Ist sehr komisch, nicht?“

„Film: das ist 25 mal in der Sekunde Lüge, und weil alles Lüge ist, ist es auch die Wahrheit. Und dass Wahrheit eben Lüge ist, das gibt jeder Film preis. Es ist nur, dass im Film Begriffe die Lüge tarnen und sie als Wahrheit erklären, und das ist für mich die winzige und einzige Utopie.“
