"Oskar Werner ist der wohl berühmteste Schauspieler Österreichs und wird allgemein als Genie betrachtet. Sein Freund Spencer Tracy hielt ihn für den besten Schauspieler der Welt. Der blonde, attraktive, stets jugendlich wirkende Werner war durch sein Aussehen, seine Intelligenz und sein Charisma der geborene Filmdarsteller."

In the 1970s and 1980s, Werner returned to the stage — among other things, starring in and directing "Hamlet" with his Theater Ensemble at the Salzburg Festival. During the 1970s he ... spent much time traveling internationally. In an uncharacteristic television appearance, Werner played the murderer opposite Peter Falk in a made-for-TV-movie off-shoot of the Columbo television series entitled Columbo: Playback (1975), prior to his Golden Globe nominated final film appearance in Voyage of the Damned (1976). His alcoholism apparently having resulted in the decline of his acting career, Werner died of a heart attack in 1984, at the age of 61, just before he was scheduled to deliver a lecture at a German drama club.
