The Good German
The Good German is a 2006 film adaptation of Joseph Kanon's 2001 novel. It was directed by Steven Soderbergh, and stars George Clooney, Cate Blanchett, and Tobey Maguire. Set in Berlin following the Allied victory over the Nazis, it begins as a murder mystery but weaves in elements involving the American postwar employment of Nazi rocket scientists in Operation Paperclip.
The film was shot in black-and-white and is designed to imitate the appearance of film noir from the 1940s, although it also includes material – such as sex scenes and swearing – that would have been prohibited by the Production Code. Its poster is an homage to the poster for the classic film Casablanca (1942, also a Warner Bros. film), as is the closing scene at an airport. The DVD release presents the film in the 1. 33:1 aspect ratio which declined in use from about 1953, though the theatrical release, and other DVD Releases, used the slightly more modern but still unusual 1. 66:1 ratio.
The film received mixed reviews and grossed $5.9 million worldwide against a budget of $32 million.
Production: Warner Bros. Pictures
Nominated for 1 Oscar. Another 3 wins & 4 nominations.
