In German with English subtitles. Also known as
Looking for His Murderer.
Robert Siodmak's second solo directorial effort was the breathless comedy-melodrama
Der Mann der Seinen Mörder Sucht (Looking For His Murderer). In the face of ever-mounting debts,
Heinz Ruhmann arranges for his own murder to be committed within the next 12 hours. During this period, Ruhmann falls in love and gains a whole new lease on life. Frantically, he seeks out the man whom he has hired to bump him off -- only to find out that the latter has sold his "contract" to another fellow -- who in turn has sold it to a third party. An uncredited Billy Wilder co-wrote the screenplay.
