“I want people to see this film” said the acting icon Hannelore Elsner, who died on Easter Sunday 2019, about “The Endless Night” (Darling Berlin) by Will Tremper, one of her favourite films. Her role of starlet Sylvia Stössi is her first big leading role. The 1963 movie tells the story of a night at Berlin’s Tempelhof Airport. Several passengers are stranded because of fog and have to kill their time in the airport hall.
