I'd assume it was a German only show, until further information. I'd say the original poster was unable to put in the German letters with umlats, I've fixed that now. |

A > movie? a TV Movie?). There's a German TV movie called Tödliche Lügen (1993) that's in the IMDB. That would make it Deadly Lies, if I recall my junior high school German correctly. The English translation is not listed in the IMDB as an alternative title, though. As a side note, I tried to search the IMDB with Todliche (without the umlaut) last night and got zilch. Usually the IMDB will give hits with or without diacritical marks. Interesting.... |

Re: Possible title problem |
| I think I can clear up this one. First, the latest film mentioned by David is the correct one. It is a German TV movie. I was pretty sure that Barbara Auer plays a TV show host in it and found the movie immediately when I started a search by her name. Her character likes to reveal dirty little secrets about her guests, sometimes destroying their reputation by doing so. It turns out that her own past is not immaculate, either - one day her daughter is abducted. and the kidnapper demands that she confesses in her next show. The movie title is "Tödliche Lügen". If you want to avoid the umlaut completely, replace ö by oe, ü by ue and ä by ae. I did a test at the IMDb and entered "Toedliche Luegen" into the search field, which led me to the correct title. BTW, I do the same when I add German movies to the database, and I noticed others doing it too. According to the IMDb, the daughter is played by Lisa Karlström ( = Karlstroem !) |
