Savoy Hotel 217 (German: Savoy-Hotel 217) is a 1936 German mystery drama film directed by Gustav Ucicky and starring Hans Albers, Brigitte Horney and Alexander Engel.
[2] The film's sets were designed by the art directors Robert Herlth and Walter Röhrig.
In Tsarist Russia before the First World War, a couple arrive at a luxury hotel where the husband is murdered.
Writing for The Spectator in 1936, Graham Greene gave the film a positive review, characterizing it as an "agreeably [...] slow, good-humoured murder-story".
Praising Engel's acting as particularly vivid, Greene summarized the film, claiming: "melodramatic passions are given a pleasantly realistic setting by a very competent director and a first-class cameraman".
