The Chain of Command
In a slight but well observed little fable about societal hierarchies, snobbery and injustice, Heinz Rühmann is fine as the ex-con who finds wearing a military uniform can get him everything otherwise hopelessly out of reach. It’s a humorous tale, but there’s nothing in it that will actually make you laugh, and it takes a whole hour to get to the interesting part of the story, which is much too long. It doesn’t really add up to anything much but it’s an agreeable enough watch, lovably capturing Old Europe in all its handsome grandeur and ridiculous pomposity, and shot with a good deal of character in early Eastmancolor.

Not great, but good
“Der Hauptmann von Köpenick” is, because of its Oscar nomination, definitely a contender for Heinz Rühmann’s most known work. And it certainly is the most known movie by Helmut Käutner, who directed here and also adapted the literary work this is based on. And with Rühmann, the film got one of the most known German actors from that time, probably the number one. This 90-minute film is a pretty good example of how Rühmann transitioned more and more from pure comedy to pure drama, of course with how he also gives his subtly funny approach to his characters. However, I must say that even if I enjoyed the watch I would say agree with another reviewer who said that this is not among Rühmann’s best performances and also not among his best films. I was not really that impressed here. There were some moments that were good of course and overall I also believe the good outweighs the bad, but an Academy Award nomination may have been a bit too much. Still the best thing about the film is the acting as the movie is a bit of style over substance in some other areas. All in all, a cautious thumbs-up from me. Oh yeah, final note, it is in color, which is not a given looking at how this was made 60 years ago. There were many black-and-white films from Germany from that era too.
