Bookkeeper Kremke (German: Lohnbuchhalter Kremke) is a 1930 German silent drama film directed by Marie Harder and starring Hermann Vallentin, Anna Sten and Ivan Koval-Samborsky.[1]
It was made with backing from Germany's Socialist Party. Along with Brothers (1929), it was one of two contemporary films espousing the movement's left-wing ideology. The film's sets were designed by Carl Ludwig Kirmse.
It was not a commercial success on its release, which is generally attributed to its theme and to the fact that it was a released as a silent at a time when cinemas had gone over almost entirely to showing sound films.
After losing his job, a clerk is devastated by the threatened drop in social status now that he is unemployed. However, his daughter falls in love with a chauffeur who encourages her to embrace her new working-class status.
