About Hotel der toten Gäste
London crime reporter Barney Blair has an appointment in his office with Janosch Kovac, the hotel detective at the Hotel Atlanta in San Remo. The informant wants to sell Blair some explosive background material, but it doesn't get that far because the man is stabbed to death beforehand. Blair goes to the hotel, where the film and music festival is currently taking place, to investigate the case himself and soon senses a big story.
Directed by Eberhard Itzenplitz, Hotel der toten Gäste leans on a strong ensemble — Joachim Fuchsberger, Karin Dor, Hans Nielsen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1965.
