Victimised and loving it
14 April 2023
"The Devil of Cape Town" (1962) tells the story of the young tourist Frank who finds some white powder on a trip to Africa, whereupon police commissioner Wilke asks him to lure the drug dealers (who are most likely looking for it) into a trap. Frank immediately agrees to this suicidal proposal, gets abducted and beaten up by the gangsters - and just loves this adventure, happily asking Wilke if he may help some more. Utter nonsense which is stretched to 80 minutes with several tedious dance performances in a bar and African archive footage. It may have passed as a 45 minute TV episode, but as a movie it's extremely poor.

Directed by Alfredo Medori, officially, yet Hermann Kugelstadt and Wolfgang Schleif are reported to have been supervising the German version.
