Had it ever been released in the U.S., the Austrian Lambert Fuchlt sich Bedroht would have been retitled Lamber is Threatened. The film is what could be described as an existential murder yarn. The main character, played by Leopold Rudolph, kills a man out of revenge. Upon learning that no one really knew his victim, he assumes the dead man's identity. It takes an out-of-town private eye to get the facts straight and see that justice is done. The detective is played by Curd Juergens, soon to gain worldwide fame as Curt Jurgens. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
