Bekenntnisse des Hochstaplers Felix Krull

BR Deutschland 1957 Spielfilm

Confessions of Felix Krull

The adaptation of Thomas Mann′s eponymous, unfinished novel tells the fantastic story of charming rogue Felix Krull. After he dodges the military draft thanks to his acting abilities, he starts his con man career in a hotel in Paris. Soon he travels the world pretending to be the noble Marquis de Venosta, and his luck with the ladies, namely the eccentric Madame Houpflé and Zouzou, the daughter of his acquaintance Professor Kuckuck, comes in handy. Felix Krull always knows how to impress people, so even when he comes under suspicion of murder, he does not become desperate.
