Adaptation of Thomas Mann's novella.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) was the author of Werther, the romantic novel that was transformed into a play during Goethe's lifetime and which initiated the whole German romantic movement. The book's story tells of young love and suicide. In this East German film, based on a book by Thomas Mann, Lotte (Lilli Palmer) was the woman who served as the model for the heroine in the novel Werther. She comes to Goethe's hometown for a visit, and her experiences there eerily re-create episodes from the book. Goethe comes across as a pompous old bore, and his friends as pandering sycophants, in this very proper communist party-sponsored, anti-heroic movie.

This drama is taken from Thomas Mann's 1903 semi-autobiographical novel. Tonio (Jean Claude Brialy) is an aspiring writer and the son of a rigid aristocratic father and a music-loving mother.

O filme, considerado perdido, foi encontrado na Alemanha. "Não tinha experiência nenhuma quando filmei A Gravata," disse Jodorowsky, "... mas, nele se pode apreciar que eu já era diretor. Um artista precisa ser como Jean Cocteau... esquizofrênico. Necessita ser muitas pessoas ao mesmo tempo, não apenas uma."
