CGiii Comment
The Fassbinder factory certainly delivered a plethora of films - without ever recognising talent...something Fassbinder didn't find particularly important.
The acting is pitiful, the soundtrack screeches and the story plods on and on.
There is absolutely nothing to like...a wholly joyless experience.

The(ir) Blurb...
The lackluster and plodding station master Bolwieser has the (mis)fortune to be married to the town's siren; his trusting nature leads him into serious trouble when she beds nearly every available guy.
