Robert Siodmak takes the film noir back to Germany
“Nachts, wenn der Teufel kam” is a film from the second German period of Robert Siodmak. Leaving Germany with the rise of Nazism in 1933 he returned to his home country after the Second World War in 1952. In the USA his film career suffered from his image of being a film noir director, in Germany this same image was more of a blessing. Also “Nachts, wenn der Teufel kam” is a good example of the film noir genre.

In German films the serial killer is portrayed in a different way than in for example American films. In American films he is portrayed as a savage beast who likes to kill. In German films the serial killer is both perpetrator and victim. He is a psychopat who has to kill. This is most clearly in “M” (1931, Fritz Lang), but is also the case in “Nachts, wenn der Teufel kam” (1957) and “Es geschah am hellichten Tag” (1958, Ladislao Vajda). Most convincing in his role as psychpat remains however Peter Lorre in his role as Hans Beckert in “M”. In “Nachts, wenn der Teufel kam” Mario Adorf as Bruno Luedke can not match that performance, and he is hardly te blame for that.

In “M” the serial killer is hunted down by organised crime (who wants to keep the level of police activity at a low level). In “Nachts, wenn der Teufel kam” there is also some sort of organised crime, namely state crime in the form of the Nazi government. They are however not interested in the real killer, whose identity is uncovered by an honest detective. For reasons of public relations they prefer to give a death sentence to an innocent man, thereby showing their contempt for the value of a human live.

“Nachts, wenn der Teufel kam” takes place in 1944, at the end of the war. A great deal of the film is devoted to the (miserable) life of German citizens. In this way there are similarities with films such as “Germania anno zero” (1948, Roberto Rossellini) or “Der Untergang” (2004, Oliver Hirschbiegel).
