Flug in Gefahr

Hanns Lothar is still beloved 30 years after his death. One of the few actors that fully deserved to be described as a genius. In this TV production he plays a passenger on an airplane who has to step in to save day when the crew and half of the passengers get sick from food poisoning. When I watched it as a kid I could not stand the suspense and having just seen it again I was surprised how it stood the test of time. And mainly because of Hanns. He gives the best portrait of a non-hero hero I have ever seen. He is sincere and amazingly modest with just a shade of arrogance.

Another role is played by his brother Günther Neutze a man who we also will remember until the end of times.
