review by: date: 2008-06-26 rating:Switch Off The Lights
This film made rather a splash back in 1973, though now it is hard to think why. The acting is first rate and the location filming in Vienna excellent, but the story is rather absurd in the end.
Dirk Bogarde plays the night porter at a good hotel in Vienna, who by fate meets again his ex-prisoner and girlfriend from (yes, you guessed it, the film having been produced by one Levine) a concentration camp run by the SS, where Bogarde was an officer of the SS who played at being a doctor.
I should say that the scenes of SS debauchery were far more reminiscent of the pre-Nazi Weimar period.
The film's plot moves on to show how Bogarde, by now reunited with girlfriend Charlotte Rampling, has to hide from his acquaintances of the past, now respectable citizens of 1957 Austria who do not wish to be exposed.
A bit of a dud, but worth seeing once.
