aka: The Professional Secrets of Dr. Apfelgluck
Film Synopsis
Dr Apfelglück, an eminent psychiatrist, relates several of the
more serious cases that have arisen in the course of his long and
distinguished career. First there is Martineau, an antiques
dealer who liked to take sanctuary in an inn run by a monstrous
couple. Then there is Martinez, a famous television game-show
host who went berserk when one of his contestants made a fool of
him. As soon as a patient has confided in him, Dr Apfelglück
falls asleep and dreams of a paradise from which you can be excluded by
a simple yes or no...
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
Continental Films, quality cinema under the Nazi Occupation
At the time of the Nazi Occupation of France during WWII, the German-run company Continental produced some of the finest films made in France in the 1940s.
