Fun fact: Buckling up became mandatory in Germany in 1976 - during the time he was incarcerated. Doesn't seem to get used to that idea, though, as you can see him drive around w/o belt. Reminds me of my grandpa.
Here's what I can't get my head around: Siegfried Lowitz is the bad guy here - Subconsciously I always connect him with his lead role in Der Alte, where he plays a detective.
The "man from prison wants revenge" theme is so Reinecker. It gets old pretty quickly. Here we have at least a somewhat subtle plan. Is it credible? No! Teachers in this era were no longer that much concerned about their standing and honor so that a criminal father or his basically baseless accusation are any threat. Plus, everyone acts stupid: shut your mouth, let your lawyer talk and get away with it for God's sake. Why does the father act likes this anyway? I'd have always tried to make the son pay me out (at least 120000 DM were left in cash!) for not talking. Later, if I still feel the urgent need for revenge, I could have always proceeded like it was described in this episode (which I don't feel credible after all: he is an old quiet man, who spent 18 yrs in prison and still wants revenge, because his son doesn't want to talk to him and because he embezzled money he himself was too stupid to hide? I mean, why did he wrote the letter in the first place if he didn't want to provide for his family? I mean did he really expect that this illegal money makes him likeable? He can't be that stupid.)
"Mord inklusive" (two episodes earlier) presumably didn't have a real murder. Eine Art Mörder definitely doesn't have a murder. Someone dies though.
