An interesting article in a popular film magazine appeared on November 8, 1936 which we translate below:

"Traitors" in Lessing High School. (Filmwelt, Nr. 45, 1936)

One of the strongest successes of this year's season is undoubtedly the film "Verräter" (Traitor). It succeeded in bringing a very complicated subject matter, namely that of the betrayal of a work and its defense, to a broad audience in a very simple and forceful way. The plot unfolds before us with gripping clarity and psychological accuracy.

Keep in mind how one can become entangled in the many-meshed network of large-scale treason on an artistic level that is otherwise quite high has hardly been achieved in suspense films. The Lessing University took up this topic and put it at the center of a discussion with which it also opened the film seminar of the current winter semester.

Dr. Eckardt, the long-time leader of this seminar, pointed out how difficult it was to create the artistic material in this film in particular.  Several actions run side by side completely independently of each other. It was fate then to form that of the simple, male soldier Klemm, who innocently falls into the hands of the secret agent Morris. Next to him, we see the weak Dr. Mockrau became involved in serious guilt and the services of the not-unsympathetic "technician" Schultz had to be cleverly woven into the plot. Despite this diversity of plots and fates, the material has been unified. This difficult task would hardly have been successful if the script had not been completed by just one writer - which is not always the case. Dr. Fürst, the author of the script, was present and confirmed the difficulties in the discussion.

Some panelists perceived the poor characterization of the female roles as a weakness of the film, but the author had deliberately drawn the female characters weaker because they only played a secondary role in the course of the plot play. How critical the film-interested audience is today, very strikingly illuminates the appreciation of small film scenes, The intricacies of which would probably have escaped most moviegoers years ago. The many, extremely happy transitions in this film. –  just one example – It was generally noticed that acoustic means were also used – and the sound of a factory siren leads to a scene in a sophisticated dance hall. Today, as this discussion showed, even the layperson already knows how to correctly assess the many technical difficulties of, for example, aerial photography. The question of whether discussing a film as part of such an evening is beneficial and valuable must be answered in the affirmative after the successes at the Lessing University. A site has been created here that is dedicated to this. Laymen will answer their questions for clarifying information, which in turn will have an impact beyond the narrow scope of the small community.
