    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film remained unavailable for three decades for reasons of music rights. (The original soundtrack includes works of Elvis Presley and the Rolling Stones, which is more expensive than the production of the film itself. ) To make the film possible to view again, the director Wim Wenders obtains the right of several songs and replaces other pieces with new songs of lyrics. Those were produced using period instruments and analog techniques from the 1950s to imitate the sound of that time as faithful as possible.
    • Goofs
      The newspaper article "Heiße Spur im Mordfall Gloria T." (Firm lead in Gloria T. murder case) is actually a newspaper article about a car crash and has nothing whatsoever to do with the movie's plot. It seems that only the headline was changed for the purpose of filming.

    The music works wonderfully.
    This is a detective film, but it's not really a film noir or cop drama like we're used to in the U.S. However, there are lots of references to America's overwhelming cultural presence throughout.

    For me, Jurgen Knieper's score serves the story well; the tune still comes back to me all these years later.

    It's a simple monotonous tune, the main parts being just two notes that the small chamber group works back and forth. It may not sound like much, but in reality it becomes mesmerizing, almost like a 2nd main character, and something that won't release you, like fate.

    The film, of course, is genius.

    The understated music matches the film's lack of much excitement or development.

    The visuals and music work to produce a profoundly unsettling look at the monotonous life of the murderer.
