If you loved Der lange heiße Sommer, try Der Strohmann
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Martin Ritt, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Der lange heiße Sommer, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Der Strohmann is
Apparently someone had to front for the blacklisted. A cashier poses as a writer to submit others work. It manages a gentle protest.
