Desc: Der Havarist: Directed by Wolf-Eckart Bühler. With Burkhard Driest, Rüdiger Vogler, Hannes Wader, Hans-Michael Rehberg. An adaptation of actor Sterling Hayden's autobiography, WANDERER, with three different actors portraying Hayden in his various aspects, with special focus on Hayden's brief flirtation with the communist party, his testimony before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Un-American Activities, and his subsequent lifelong shame at having named others in his testimony. The film depends on Hayden's actual words from his autobiography and is both documentary and meditation on the psychology of the actor.
