The stupid countess and her mentally ill helpers

I read many of Edgar Wallace's crime novels when I was young. Even I quickly noticed that the stories almost always had the same background. A naive girl gets involved in an intrigue (usually about her inheritance). The villain has set his mind on marrying her, while the hero naturally wants to save her.

Well, almost all of the German Edgar Wallace films were made according to exactly the same pattern. The recurring cast and the (German) attempt to be funny (usually in the form of Eddi Arent, who does not appear in the novel) are particularly worth mentioning here.

The Strange Countess was also made according to this pattern.

Logical errors are plentiful. The acting was sometimes grotesquely exaggerated.

Even with the rose-colored glasses of nostalgia, I cannot find any reason to recommend this film.
