The Perjured Farmer

The film centers around Mathias Ferner, who commits perjury to claim his stepbrother Jakob's farm after Jakob's death. This act of dishonesty robs Paula Roth and her children of their rightful inheritance. The story takes a turn when, years later, Paula discovers an incriminating letter that could expose Mathias's wrongdoing.

As a crime drama from the mid-20th century, The Perjured Farmer presents a narrative filled with moral dilemmas and familial conflict. The film's exploration of justice and retribution resonates with collectors interested in vintage cinema and the evolution of crime narratives in film history. Its appeal lies not only in the story but also in the performances of its notable cast, including Christiane Hörbiger and Hans von Borsody.
