Oh, I almost forgot what excellent book the 'Confessions of Felix Krull' by Thomas Mann is. And with this film we are dealing with a congenial implementation. A pleasure from A to Z.

Touching and gripping story, tragic, sad and sometimes funny. Great actors. And yes, the lead character being quite handsome definitely added to it too.

I haven't read the book but this movie made me curious about it. It must be good. Especially towards the end with the professor there were some really beautiful lines of dialogue.
