Pluskylang Great Film overall

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Der Fälscher von London" or "The Forger of London" is a West German German-language film from 1961. As this is still among the earliest German Edgar Wallace adaptations, it is still in black-and-white and lead actor Siegfried Lowitz is also not one you would associate with the franchise immediately, at least he is not as known as Fuchsberger or some of the other actors that starred in the Wallace series. This also includes Karin Dor who is on board again here too. And Eddi Aren't (just like writer Johannes Kai) is also a familiar face. Same can be said about director Harald Reinl, even if he is known more for his Winnetou works today. Here the title once again tells us where all these Wallace films take place. but this is the only exception. I find most Wallace films I have seen fairly uninteresting and this one here does not change my perception at all. The actors are certainly a lot more gifted than the material they were given here. And (almost) no actor can really make a bad script work. That's why I give this film a thumbs down and suggest you to watch something else instead.

dbborroughs Not long after she is married beautiful Karin Dor finds that the printing press used to print fake bank notes is in her home. She's not sure how it got there neither is her husband who has been prone to black outs (she says he he has schizophrenia).Good but somewhat lesser film in the German Edgar Wallace series of the the 1960's. Well acted and with a plot that isn't run of the series. For me the problem is that the movie doesn't have the snap that many of the other films in the series do, its a bit too matter of fact. I don't want to make out that its a bad film, its not, its good, its just not one of the best films in the series.

unbrokenmetal Karin Dor ("The Green Archer") and Siegfried Lowitz ("Der Frosch mit der Maske") return for the 7th entry of the Edgar Wallace series, while Hellmut Lange stars for the first time as Peter Clifton who marries the beautiful Jane (Karin Dor). Jane discovers a printing machine for banknotes in her new home. Has she just married "The Forger of London", or who else could be responsible for the counterfeits? Funny enough, Peter doesn't know that himself because he seems to be a victim of schizophrenia... which Jane once dryly describes to him thus: "Can you imagine how interesting it is to have a husband who never knows where he wakes up?" Typical music by Martin Böttcher, unusual story, powerfully directed by Harald Reinl - a good movie, even if none of the most popular in the series. Apparently the producers tried to break fresh ground here instead of repeating a formula, and this courage is one reason why the Edgar Wallace series lasted so long.
