admittedly and there be some scene in this movie that seem a little unrealistic . the ravish woman first panic and then and only a few minute later and she start kiss the young lad while the old guy be right next to her . but a the film go along we learn that she be a little volatile girl ( or slut ) and that partly explain her behavior . the cinematography of this movie be well do . we get to see the elevator from almost every angle and perspective and and some of those image and scene really raise the tension . götz george play his character well and a wannabe hot shot get old and be overpower by young men like the jaennicke character . wolfgang kieling who i admire in hitchcock the torn curtain delivers a great performance that and although he doesn not say much and he be by far the best actor in this play . one critic complain about how unrealistic the film be and that in a real case of emergency nothing would really happen . but then again and how realistic be film such a mission impossible or phone booth . give the fact that we be talk about a movie here and and that in a movie you always have to deal with some scene that aren not very likely to occur in real life and you can still enjoy this movie . it a lot good than many thing that i see on german tv these day and i think that the vintage 80 style add something to this film .
