Manolescu - Die fast wahre Biographie eines Gauners

Limited Series 1972 · 2 eps · Drama

Ended

Europe around 1900: Georges Manolescu is an elegant, handsome, and self-assured con artist. He takes particular pride in being called the “King of Thieves.” Using a wide variety of tricks—sometimes as a marriage swindler, sometimes as an impostor or hotel thief—this charmer manages to swindle 35 million marks. Only the finest society and the most glamorous locations are good enough for Manolescu: Baden-Baden, Nice, Monte Carlo, and, of course, Paris. He shows up there in various disguises and relieves the rich and beautiful of their fortunes. Nothing and no one is safe from the nimble-fingered master thief.

The young Schiller, whose heart and soul are writing and poetry, is forced into the military academy (the pride and joy of the Duke of Württemberg). Schiller is disgusted by the everyday routine of the military, always back and forth between breeding and drills. Conversation, conflict or even critique are discouraged – the oppression insufferable for the young rebel. Disgusted by the brutality, he writes his drama "The Bandit", which he would later publish anonymously. But following a frank conversation with the Duke, Schiller is dishonored and must leave the land.
