C.R. MacNamara, un alto directivo destinado en Berlín Occidental, recibe el encargo de cuidar de la hija de su jefe durante una de sus visitas. Cuando MacNamara se entera de que la chica se ha escapado y ha contraído matrimonio con un exaltado joven comunista, y de que su jefe estará de vuelta en tan solo veinticuatro horas, no le queda más remedio que transformar al reacio revolucionario en un yerno digno; de lo contrario, ya puede despedirse de su ascenso. Pero en menos de lo que se tarda en decir "un, dos, tres", sus planes se le escapan de las manos y provocan un incidente internacional capaz de enfadar a los rusos, a los alemanes y, lo que es peor, a su propia esposa, que ya está con la mosca detrás de la oreja.
Father Brown starts solving crimes, much to the annoyance of his housekeeper, the police and especially his bishop, who is not amused by a priest playing detective.
West Germany's entry in the 1957 Cannes Film Festival was this cinemadaptation of the Gerhardt Hauptman play Rose Bernd. The title character, played by Maria Schell, is a servant girl on a remote farm. Sexually assaulted by both her employer and a coworker, Rose later bears a child, who die soon afterward. After nearly two hours of unrelieved misery, Rose finally finds happiness in the arms of a longtime admirer (where has he been for the past 12 reels?) Rose Bernd (aka The Sins of Rose Bernd) received a smattering of American showings thanks to the drawing power of star Maria Schell.
