Wikipedia article
'Wozzeck' is a 1947 German drama film directed by Georg C. Klaren and starring Kurt Meisel, Max Eckard, and Helga Zlch. It is based on the play 'Woyzeck' by Georg Bchner. (The play, which was first performed in 1913, nearly 80 years after Bchner's death, had been originally billed as 'Wozzeck' due to a misreading of Bchner's handwriting.)
The film's sets were designed by Bruno Monden and Hermann Warm. It was shot at Babelsberg and the Althoff Studios in Potsdam.
Plot
Everything in town appears calm, placid, lovely. But Woyzeck, a rifleman assigned as an orderly, hears voicesthe times are out of joint, at least in his cosmos. To his captain, Woyzeck is a comic marvel: ignorant but courageous and full of energy.
