The film made heavy use of visual special effects that were cutting-edge at the time of its release. It follows the adventures of a half-man, half-animal individual named Harry Haller, who in the Germany of the 1920s, is depressed, resentful of his middle class station, and wants to die not knowing the world around him. He then meets two strange people who introduce him to life and a bizarre world called the "Magic Theater". ## Credits - **Director:** [Fred Haines](https://cinepixo.com/people/fred-haines) - **Screenplay:** [Fred Haines](https://cinepixo.com/people/fred-haines) - **Original Music Composer:** [George Gruntz](https://cinepixo.com/people/george-gruntz) - **Director of Photography:** [Tomislav Pinter](https://cinepixo.com/people/tomislav-pinter) - **Editor:** [Irving Lerner](https://cinepixo.com/people/irving-lerner) ## Cast - [Charles Régnier](https://cinepixo.com/people/charles-regnier) - [Alfred Baillou](https://cinepixo.com/people/alfred-baillou) - [Helmut Förnbacher](https://cinepixo.com/people/helmut-fornbacher) - [Silvia Reize](https://cinepixo.com/people/silvia-reize) - [Pierre Clémenti](https://cinepixo.com/people/pierre-clementi) - [Dominique Sanda](https://cinepixo.com/people/dominique-sanda) - [Sunnyi Melles](https://cinepixo.com/people/sunnyi-melles) - [Eduard Linkers](https://cinepixo.com/people/eduard-linkers) - [Max von Sydow](https://cinepixo.com/people/max-von-sydow) - [Carla Romanelli](https://cinepixo.com/people/carla-romanelli) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
