What happens

Honour Among Thieves (German: Ganovenehre) is a 1933 crime drama film directed by Richard Oswald and starring Fritz Kampers, Paul Westermeier and Paul Heidemann. It was shot at the Tempelhof Studios in Berlin. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Walter Haag and Franz Schroedter. It was produced at the end of the Weimar era, shortly before the Nazi takeover. In May it was formally banned by the authorities. The Jewish Oswald left Germany and went into exile in Britain and America. It is based on a stage play by Charles Rudolph, later adapted again for the 1966 film Honour Among Thieves.
