Wolf Among Wolves (1965)

Overview

The living conditions during the period of inflation in the early 1920s are depicted in a fascinating way. Behind a shiny façade, ordinary people struggle for bare survival. Opposite them stand landowners and former military personnel with their complacency, ignorance, and emptiness! The title character, Wolfgang Pagel⁠—⁠a cadet officer, unemployed and a gambler out of desperation⁠—⁠loses everything on the night before his wedding and sets out in search of money in the inflation-ridden Berlin of the 1920s.
