Based on an actual post-war murder in Frankfurt, this standard docudrama by Rudolf Jugert is a serious treatment of the story as compared to the earlier, satirical film The Girl Rosemarie.

One of the suspects in the case was first charged, later acquitted, but never really free of an aura of culpability.
