Black Velvet
Schwarzer Samt (English: Black Velvet) is a German crime film by Heinz Thiel produced by the DEFA in 1964.
Plot
The State Security Service detains the photographer Gwendoleit, who as courier was supposed to bring counterfeited documents and number plates to Leipzig and to work on a photo assignment. Because the State Security Service neither knows with whom Gwendoleit wants to meet in Leipzig, nor what the photo subject was, the security agent Alexander Berg assumes the identity of Gwendoleit, although he had planned a trip to Oberhof for his winter holidays.
