Original title: Menschen am Sonntag
Directed by: Robert Siodmak, Edgar G. Ulmer
Synopsis: A unique film experiment in which real people play the main parts, showing the activities of five young Berliners and what they do on a leisurely Sunday.
Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): On the Saturday before, film extra Christl Ehlers meets wine seller Wolfgang von Waltershausen and they agree to go out the next day. As Christl is returning home to her apartment a woman (most likely her landlady) is standing outside holding a fidgety bicolor tabby cat.
Christl pauses to greet and even shake the back leg of the kitty, which seems to make the poor cat even more anxious to get away.
Final Mewsings: Not everyone wants to be in a movie.
