Valy Arnheim-Film Richard Spelling

The film features Valy Arnheim in the role of the fictional detective Harry Hill, a recurring pulp hero he played in a series of German silent films throughout the 1920s. The plot follows a rivalry between Harry Hill and Sherlock Holmes as they race against each other to recover important political documents.

Harry Hill auf Welle 1000 (Harry Hill on Wave 1000) is the title of a silent crime drama from the “Harry Hill” series, which Valy Arnheim produced in 1926 based on a script by Curt J. Braun in his own production company, “Valy Arnheim-Film Richard Spelling,” with himself in the lead role of the energetic detective. The title is formulated in reference to the station announcements common in the early days of radio, such as “Berlin auf Welle 400” (Berlin on Wave 400).
