Die Ratten (The Rats) is a 1955 West German drama film directed by Robert Siodmak. It is an adaptation of the 1911 play The Rats by Gerhart Hauptmann, but sets the story in the early 1950s, shortly after the Second World War. The film won the Golden Bear award, the first German film to win. It was shot at the Spandau Studios in Berlin. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Hans Jürgen Kiebach and Rolf Zehetbauer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
