Around The World For A Hundred Quid
Proving that not every gold mine is a hole in the ground with a liar standing at the top, Josef Coenen gets a dividend check. He converts part of it to cash and goes around Edinburgh, paying off his bills with hundred-pound notes. At his club, there's some banter, and he bets some members that a particular note, which he will mail the next morning to London, will be in his hands and at the club three months hence. After he takes off, detective Senta Eichstaedt discovers a cache of forged bills. She takes off after Coenen, convinced he's the culprit and chases him right around the world.
Clearly it's an uncredited version of Jules Verne's AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS. Unlike the Oscar-winning version, it doesn't have a plethora of exotic location shots or star cameos. Clearly it was shot locally in Germany. It does have some nice technical values, including interesting impressionistic glass shots, and for 1913, it is a well written feature; it may be a bit episodic in nature, but the parts hang together to produce a satisfying whole.
