The detective novels by the English writer Edgar Wallace were box-office hits in the Federal Republic of Germany. At the same time, the films repeat norms and patterns that date back to the National Socialist era. In 2021, a new Wallace film was made at Burg Hülshoff. Behind secret doors we discovered not hidden rooms, but more or less secret truths about our society. In the series Projections we show the director’s cut of the film by Michael Graessner and Philipp Wachowitz.
