Mario Adorf about years of hunger in Munich after the war, looking for money at the Oktoberfest, the filming of “Winnetou” and the worries of old age.
A beautiful old building apartment near Munich University. Mario Adorf, 93, opens the door personally. He and his wife Monique serve coffee and pastries. The meeting takes place on the occasion of the 60th birthday of “Winnetou, Part 1”. Back then, Adorf played the villain Santer and was insulted on the street for years because he shot Winnetou’s sister Nscho-tschi. He says he is still asked about the role to this day. For the anniversary, the film was extensively digitally restored. But there is also a lot to tell about his eventful life.
