Somewhat boring and slow, but the film still has its moments. Verhoeff's best so far...

This film was a major production by Dutch standards in 1980. The true story that actually happened is certainly worth making into a good film. But boy, was this the best they could do in 1980? What a wooden production. The dullness radiates from all sides and the cast is incomprehensible.
However, even more incomprehensible is that I read on the cover of the DVD that this film has won two golden calves. 1 for best film and 1 for Marja Kok as best actress. So those aren't even the lowest prices. Marja Kok best actress!!! Actress is already a big word for her performance in this movie!
1980 must have been a very poor year in the Dutch film world.
Were Monique van de Ven and Willeke van Ammelrooy free that year?
