Die Gäste des Felix Hechinger (1964)

Overview

Felix Hechinger, head doorman at the Hotel Excelsior, has a soft spot for people and therefore believes that hotel guests shouldn’t be left to fend for themselves. As a result, he’s always kept busy making sure the guests are satisfied. "Corrigez la fortune" is his motto. To play the role of fate imperceptibly and gently⁠—⁠that is what Hechinger aims to do, even if he does not always receive thanks and his interventions in other people’s affairs sometimes turn out to be missteps.
