WORTHLESS PETER VOSS SEQUEL

Worthless, talkative and annoying sequel to the Peter Voss film of 1958. Due to the terrible direction of Georg Marishka it misses the elements that made part 1 such fun: humour and flair. The script is bad and disjointed and contains a very illogical plot in which O.W. Fischer has to disguise himself ad nauseam. Fischer is okay but cannot save this dud, and has to carry the film by himself, as the rest of the cast - including that overrated (as sex kitten, that is) Linda Christian - is uniformly boring. The Peter Voss series was not continued after this one, but at least one Bobby Dodd rip-off was made.
