===Early===
Werner returned to the Burgtheater and acted in productions at the [[Raimund Theater]] and the [[Theater in der Josefstadt]], frequently playing character roles. He made his film debut in ''[[The Angel with the Trumpet (1948 film)|Der Engel mit der Posaune]]'', directed by [[Karl Hartl]], in 1948.<ref name=Bio/> The following year he portrayed [[Ludwig van Beethoven]]'s nephew Karl in ''[[Eroica (1949 film)|Eroica]]''.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}

In 1950, Werner journeyed to the United Kingdom to reprise the role he had played in ''Der Engel mit der Posaune'' in its English-language version ''[[The Angel with the Trumpet (1950 film)|The Angel with the Trumpet]]'', directed by [[Anthony Bushell]]. He and his wife divorced at about this time but remained friends.<ref name=Bio/> He appeared in a few more German-Austrian films before going to Hollywood for a lead role in the [[20th Century Fox]] war film ''[[Decision Before Dawn]]''.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}

When the subsequent roles promised by the studio failed to materialize, he returned to Europe<ref name="nyt" /> and settled in [[Triesen]], [[Liechtenstein]] in a home he designed and built with a friend. He returned to the stage and performed in ''[[Hamlet]]'', ''[[Danton's Death]]'', ''[[Henry IV, Part 1|Henry IV]]'', ''[[Henry V (play)|Henry V]]'', ''[[Torquato Tasso (play)|Torquato Tasso]]'', and ''[[Becket]]''.

After a period of inactivity in films, Werner appeared in five in 1955, including ''[[Mozart (1955 film)|Mozart]]'', in which he played the title role, and ''[[Lola Montès]]'', directed by [[Max Ophüls]]. It was not until 1962, when he appeared in ''[[Jules and Jim]]'', that he began to draw critical acclaim and international recognition.{{citation needed|date=August 2017}}
