Rolf Olsen – Wenn es Nacht wird auf der Reeperbahn aka When Night Falls on the Reeperbahn (1967)
USA1961-1970CrimeRolf OlsenThrillerA daring blood and guts expose of dope, violence and crime … loaded with hot lead and hot heads!
An IMDB review by Msroz:
“”When Night Falls on the Reeperbahn” is a somewhat glossy production that bears some of the signs of its times, the sixties. This was when spy movies and spoofs were big sellers. It was when movies turned quirky or humorous with sixties humor. This appears in several sequences here. It comes in during a mud wrestling sequence in a club featuring female wrestlers, and it appears during several fights. It’s sort of how the television Batman was done. Although for the most part the story is serious, it still maintains this underlying tone of being jocular.Read More » -
