Der 10. Mai (1957)
Character: Werner Kramer
Der 10. Mai (The Tenth of May) was the date in 1940 that Hitler invaded the Low Countries: Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg. Neutral Switzerland, which hadn't experienced a war since the 14th century, hurriedly fortified its borders with battalions of inexperienced soldiers. The panic, confusion and isolated acts of courage which occurred on that fateful day are re-created in this Swiss docudrama. The story is "personalized" by concentrating on a fugitive German soldier (Heinz Reincke) who falls in love with the Swiss girl (Linda Geiser) who shelters him. Produced on a bare-minimum budget, Der 10. Mai is impressive more for its sincerity and raw energy than for its actual cinematic merits.

Weihnachten bei den Hoppenstedts (1978)
Character: Karl-Heinz
Classic christmas special about the dysfunctional Hoppenstedt family attempts to prepare for the holiday, only to be thwarted by absurdity at every turn. From a chaotic Christmas tree setup to a disastrous holiday dinner, Loriot brilliantly satirizes the pressures and absurdities of family life and Christmas traditions.

Faust (1960)
Character: Frosch
In 1957 Gustaf Gründgens staged a new production of Goethe's Faust in which he once again played Mephisto, a part he had played since 1932. The brilliant production was a huge success and ran for a couple of years. In 1959 Peter Gorski captured the performance on film in his directorial film debut. Basically it is a registration of the production, but Gorksi did manage to accentuate the details of the acting by using enough medium and close-up shots which give a view on the acting you normally would not able to see in a theater.
