Sensation am Sonnabend (1955)
»Während sich drei Bankräuber auf ihren nächsten Coup im Bergbauort Bradenville vorbereiten, erhalten wir Einblick in die nur scheinbar heile Welt der Kleinstadt und in die Fehlbarkeiten und Abgründe ihrer BewohnerInnen. Der brutale Überfall des Trios jedoch wirft sie im besten Sinne aus der Bahn, das Schockereignis gibt ihnen die Chance, ihr Leben neu auszurichten. Der arglose Vater der Amish Familie freilich, deren Farm die Gang als Unterschlupf nutzt, erlebt auf tragische Weise, dass er mit seiner Mitmenschlichkeit und Friedfertigkeit in einer Welt der Gewalt nicht bestehen kann.«
