Gestaeden Unter Vier Augen (Confession Under Four Eyes) stars Hildgarde Knef as an investigative reporter named Hilde. While perusing a police photo, Hilde recognizes a bracelet that she once owned while living in her native Rumania. She seeks out the current owner of the bracelet, hoping that he can provide information concerning her long-lost father. Thus begins a curious chain of events, culminating in a romance between Hilde and a two-bit thief named Marmara (Ivan Desny). While the film's suspense is mitigated by its predictability, the stars work quite well together.
