Kein Engel ist so rein, a 1960 comedy-crime flick, presents a rather playful yet twisted plot involving Dr. Zilinsky and his gang's botched bank heist. This isn’t just another caper; the film weaves in a charming love story with Konrad Stroloff, the bank manager’s son, and his romantic interest, Therese, the singer. The pacing has this delightful, almost breezy quality, making it feel lighter than typical heist films. There’s something about its atmosphere, a mix of cheeky humor and the tension of a crime gone astray. Though the director's identity seems to have faded into obscurity, the performances stand out, especially the chemistry between the leads, adding a distinctive touch to an otherwise familiar story.
This film hasn't seen many re-releases, which adds a layer of scarcity for collectors. It's often overshadowed by other genre films from the same era, but its unique blend of comedy and crime makes it an interesting piece for any collector's archive. Finding it in good condition can be a challenge, but its quirky charm and unique narrative set it apart, ensuring it garners some attention among aficionados.
