English Title: Black Gravel

Directed by: Helmut Käutner

Synopsis: Robert Neidhardt (Helmut Wildt), an independent trucker in West Germany who has a good thing going by stealing gravel from a work site to sell on the black market, risks this profitable situation when he pursues a former flame, Inge Gaines (Ingmar Zeisberg) who has just arrived in town with her American military officer husband (Hans Cossy).

Purr Blur: In one scene Inge is calling her friend Elli (Anita Höfer) who is working at the town’s hot spot. Over Elli’s shoulder a tuxedo cat can just barely be seen in the other room.

Final Mewsings: After seeing what happened to the dog at the start of the movie the cat made himself scarce!

Many thanks to Jon R. Kennedy for spotting the cat in this film.
