Wes Andersons 2014 film The Grand Budapest Hotel states in its end-credits that it is partially inspired by Zweigs novels. Anderson unabashedly claimed to have stolen from Zweigs novels Beware of Pity and The Post-Office Girl in writing the film, and it features actors Tom Wilkinson as The Author, a character based loosely on Zweig, and Jude Law as his younger, idealised self seen in flashbacks. Anderson also acknowledges that the films protagonist, the concierge Gustave H., played by Ralph Fiennes, is based on Zweig. In the films opening sequence, a teenaged girl visits a shrine for The Author, which includes a bust of him wearing Zweig-like spectacles and celebrated as his countrys National Treasure. https://facebook/pages/Stefan-Zweig/112001652150145#
