Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe policeman who was checking the cars was wearing a German-style M43 mountain cap. In front was a hat badge, with both sides of the hat badge pinched. This is known as the Prussian Pinch.
- GoofsAt the mountain chalet, the bedroom is inverted vertically when Eddie returns than when he left. For example, the door is to the left of the bed when he leaves, and is to the right of the bed when he returns. There are indications that when Eddie returns is the correct perspective (before he leaves, he uses his "left" hand for many regularly dominant hand tasks; after he returns, his watch is on his correct left wrist).

Featured review
Pointless little film you can easily do without.
This is just one of those movies that makes a totally pointless impression and makes you wonder why it was ever made in the first place. Not that it's an horrible movie of course but it's too lacking on basically every front to consider this a good movie as well.
The movie has a very simple story that only slowly takes more shape in the second halve of the movie. But even then, the story just never really knows to intrigue. Oh well, maybe it's just because I never really liked the circus that this movie just couldn't interest me much.
But even so, this movie is lacking on more fronts than just the story. It's also a quite cheap and simple looking movie. You know, the movie with painted backgrounds, which makes it all painfully obvious most of it was shot inside a studio. It says something I think about the overall production values of this movie. Again, it's nothing too bad but not anything impressive either.
The actors are all quite good but the characters they portray remain mostly flat and uninteresting. Also their relations just never know to interest you and the movie just mostly muddles on as it progresses. There are some good ideas but just movie just never really exploit them fully or in the best way possible,
No, just not really a movie that will stay with you.
