The Man Who Went Up in Smoke

The book this miserable movie is based on is one of a series of police stories made by the duo Sjövall and Wahlöö, some resulting in very well-made movies, but this is terrible.

Derek, who is the policeman investigating, seems totally lost in this Swedish-Hungarian production, wandering around like a mentally handicapped guy not knowing where to go or what to do.

It's not really worth anything, not now and not when it was made. Sad to say!

Jacobi was dubbed by István Sztankay, a famous actor, just like Jacobi (recently seen as a slightly demented former teacher in the TV series Ludwig. A far better performance by Jacobi).
