The Last Witness
Wolfgang Staudte
Martin Held, Hanns Lothar
Director Wolfgang Staudte who left East Germany in 1953 to make movies in West Germany, takes a few swipes at the West German judicial system in this fairly effective courtroom drama about the murder of a four-month-old baby. Police almost immediately arrest the mother Ingrid who is the mistress of the father, a rich business VIP married to another woman. His position and wealth keep him insulated from suspicion. A hot-shot lawyer has to overcome the unaccountably biased perceptions of the police, the judge, the prosecutor and almost everyone else in the judicial system. The defence lawyer, driven to an extreme, knows he has to find the real killer or his client will be convicted.

Власти Западной Германии возбудили процесс против Михаэля Фирканта, обвиняя его в убийстве, которого тот не совершал. Друзья Фирканта помогли ему бежать из тюрьмы и организовали его выступление перед представителями мировой прессы. Боясь разоблачения организованной ими грязной провокации, судебные власти Западной Германии вынуждены снять с Фирканта обвинение. Процесс откладывается.
