    Teutonic

    The title character does not deserve what she gets in this film. It is Fritz Lang's look at the unfairness of the world at times. It also presents a theory that evil is hereditary. Hilde just wants to be good. She is tempted many times and manages to say no. But the persistence of one man sets her on a course to destruction. When the man, a criminal, is gunned down by police, she drops into depression. Death, in a corporeal form, tries to make a deal with her. Obviously, there are no easy answers. She has had a son by the criminal but is asked to desert him by a man she wishes to marry. In order to protect the world from the son, she commits an act that will reintroduce her to death.
