What happens

The Haller Case (Italian: Il caso Haller) is a 1933 Italian thriller film directed by Alessandro Blasetti and starring Marta Abba, Memo Benassi and Camillo Pilotto. The film is based on the 1893 play Der Andere by Paul Lindau. It marked the screen debut of Isa Miranda, who had her breakthrough role the following year in Everybody's Woman and emerged as the most international-renowned Italian actress of the decade. It was shot at the Cines Studios in Rome. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Arnaldo Foresti and Alfredo Montori. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
