Interesting facts
Die Peitsche is a 1916 German crime film in the popular Stuart Webbs detective film series. It is considered to be a lost film.
Background
Die Peitsche was filmed at the Stuart Webbs Film Studio in Berlin-Weißensee. It was produced by the Stuart Webbs Film Company Reicher & Reicher (Berlin).
According to film producer Erich Pommer, the screenplay for Die Peitsche was written by Fritz Lang. However, since no other information about the screenwriter has survived, it must be considered uncertain whether the screenplay was actually written by Lang.
The film, which is considered lost, has a length of four or five acts and a total running time of 1,560 metres. This corresponds to a running time of approximately 85 minutes. The premiere took place in December 1916 at the Marmorhaus in Berlin.
The Berlin police issued a ban on its use by minors (No. 40112), and the Munich police demanded that it not be advertised as a detective film (Nos. 23152, 23153, 23154, 23155). From 1921 onwards, Richard Kühn (Berlin) took over the film distribution. The Weimar Republic Reich Film Censorship Office in Berlin imposed a ban on its use by minors on 15 June 1921 (No. 3454).
