Harry Piel is both star and director of Bobby Geht Los. The title translates as Bobby Starts Off, which indeed he does -- and what a start-off. Regarded by his fans as the Teutonic equivalent to Douglas Fairbanks, star Piel never stops moving, whether escaping the villains or rescuing the heroine. His peripatetic behavior is offset by the lugubrious antics of the two comic-relief characters, played by Kurt Lillen and Eugene Rex. Proof of Harry Piel's popularity in his native land was that Bobby Geht Los was his 89th vehicle, with number 90 still on the way.
