THE DEVIOUS PATH

"Why don't you come to a party with us some time, Irene?"

"Thomas, how about going out some time again? Liane invited us."

"I told you a thousand times that I don't want you around this woman!"

"Why do you let yourself be prisoned like that?"

"Work, all the time... work!"

"And that's our marriage!!"

"You see... You're the center of my work!"

"You can't possibly go back to him!"

"Away from him? But where to?"

"We'll go to Vienna! Tonight!"

"Two sleeping-car tickets for the train to Vienna!"

"...no, not first, but second class!"

"For important reasons I can't meet you tonight. I am terribly sorry, your Walter Frank"

"You want to go away now?"

"You know that I have to go to the club!"

"The Doctor already left for the club."

"You have come to the right time my friend. Let's go out - anywhere!"

"Don't you want to dance, Madam?"

"What's a virtuous Regierungsrat like you doing in such a den of vice?"

"Girls, tomorrow you'll all come to my place!"

"Who's this woman?!"

"She used to be bankier Haldern's wife..."

"...he killed himself because of her!"

"She invited us all. We want to wake her up!"

"Irene invited you too?"

"That's my husband!"

"Please, don't let yourself be bothered by me."

"Feel like home!"

"Do you want to ridicule me in front of everybody?"

"Calm down, darling! You're in a crisis..."

"In a crisis? You'll see what'll become out of it!"

"Look! That's a drawing by Frank."

"The new heavyweight champion: Sam Taylor"

"We'll go to Frank. Taylor wants to buy a portrait of me."

"I'm sure you'll meet the doctor at the exit of the palace of justice."

"Mister Frank is not at home!"

"We will wait for him."

"Your wife is about to do something stupid...!"

"She's at Frank's place at the moment."

"So you were his mistress?!"

"It's all your fault!"

"It was only for your sake that I gave you up!"

"Your husband is rich, and I..."

"...don't have anything!"

"So that's why...?"

"Your husband!"

"Open up!"

"OPEN THE DOOR!"

"Thomas!"

"I advise you that you don't have to answer that question."

"And when are we going to marry?"

"As soon as possible!"

THE DEVIOUS PATH premiered 10.08.1928 in Hamburg. The original negative was incomplete: a roll was missing,

many intertitles were unkown. A censor's card wasn't found. The missing scenes were found in a fragment of a copy with

french intertitles, the Fondazione Cineteca Italiana made available. The german intertitles correspond as far as possible to the

original negative. They were complemented with translations from the french copy.

The present version follows a workprint, the Filmmuseum Munich compiled from materials of the Staatliche Filmarchiv of the GDR

and the Cin�math�que Suisse. The film was restaurated in 1998 at the Bundesarchiv/Filmarchiv together with Stiftung Deutsche Kinemathek and ZDF/ARTE
