What happens

The Other (German: Der Andere) is a 1930 German drama film directed by Robert Wiene and starring Fritz Kortner, Käthe von Nagy and Heinrich George. It was based on the 1893 play Der Andere by Paul Lindau but it is very likely that Wiene was influenced by its first screen adaptation, released in 1913. It was shot at the Terra Studios in Berlin. A French-language version titled The Prosecutor Hallers was shot by Wiene immediately afterwards in the same Berlin studio, but with different actors. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
