Arsène Lupin (TV series)

[2] Georges Descrières' portrayal of Arsène Lupin showed more similarity to Graf Yoster than to Maurice Leblanc's original depiction of his character.

Besides rescuing damsels in distress Lupin took on (other) criminals, competing with their wit and intelligence.

Among the guest stars were German actors such as Günter Strack and Sky du Mont.

For them to get a financial return on investment the show had to be appropriate for families and also for children who would watch it alone.

Subsequently, it was nearby to ask to defuse and flatten some of Leblanc's plots in order to avoid possible complaints that could force the station to broadcast the show beyond the "Vorabendprogramm".
