Viewing Notes

A pretty solid krimi with plenty of red herrings and twists leaving you guessing. The dashing Joachim Fuchsberger shows up in the lead, this time as Chief Inspector Long; and the always welcome Karin Dor plays his love interest, Nora Sanders, one of the few likeable characters threatened by the the “ghost” of a hanged killer out for revenge.

The title refers to the upper class people on the hit list, who are mostly a bunch of elitist assholes you’re happy to see get murdered.

The copy I watched is English dubbed until the final act, which is entirely in German. While I could understand bits and pieces of the dialogue, not quite enough to completely follow the final twists and resolution.
