What happens

Wozzeck is a 1947 German drama film directed by Georg C. Klaren and starring Kurt Meisel, Max Eckard, and Helga Zülch. It is based on the play Woyzeck by Georg Büchner. (The play, which was first performed in 1913, nearly 80 years after Büchner's death, had been originally billed as Wozzeck due to a misreading of Büchner's handwriting.) The film's sets were designed by Bruno Monden and Hermann Warm. It was shot at Babelsberg and the Althoff Studios in Potsdam. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
