Description:
Director Leopold Lindtberg is largely credited with revitalizing the Swiss film industry after World War II. *Madness Rules*, adapted by Lindtberg from a novel by Friedrich Glauser, stars Heinrich Gretler as Police Constable Studer, a familiar character from Glauser's popular stories. Studer is tasked with solving the murder of an insane asylum director, with the prime suspect being Herbert Caplaun, a manic-depressive patient. For wider appeal, the film emphasizes a romantic storyline between Caplaun and a nurse named Irma Wasem.
