Der Mann mit der Pranke (1935)

Directed by Rudolf van der Noss

Overview

“The Man with the Paw” is what people call the very successful banker Wiegant, who is desperately in love with Lena Kroning, the wife of the lawyer Hugo Kroning.  So as to be nearer to her, Wiegant hires her husband to be the bank’s lawyer.  Shortly thereafter, Wiegant is suspected of having conned the Countess Steindorff during a telephone conversation; but he never did.  During the relevant period of time, he was with Lena “having tea”  (uh huh), which he conceals from the lawyer-husband, so as to protect Lena.
