Die elf Teufel / The Eleven Devils was made in Berlin in the summer of 1927, in the last throes of the silent movie era. But Die elf Teufel strikes one today as a prophetic film. One of its early captions is "Football, the sport of the century ". We are shown a ball bathed in light like some sacred relic, and observe how, even in those early days, fans on the terraces wouldn't shy away from using their fists.

Fun with a silent football movie! Though the sport more or less plays as a backdrop for a typical troubled romance. That doesn't mean there isn't a good share of sportsmanship and fast paced games involved. What's clear is that the transfer market was just as dirty in 1927 as it is today, something Gustav Fröhlich experiences. While the movie plays out like a fairly standard fare they used th moving camera quite a lot which brought life to the movie.
