== Adaptations == The 1933 Austrian-German [[drama film]] ''[[The Burning Secret]]'' directed by [[Robert Siodmak]] was based on Zweig's short story ''Brennendes Geheimnis.'' The 1988 remake of the same film ''[[Burning Secret]]'' was directed by [[Andrew Birkin]] and starred [[Klaus Maria Brandauer]] and [[Faye Dunaway]]. ''[[Letter from an Unknown Woman]]'' was filmed in 1948 by [[Max Ophüls]]. ''[[Beware of Pity (novel)|Beware of Pity]]'' was adapted into a 1946 film with [[Beware of Pity|the same title]], directed by [[Maurice Elvey]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://explore.bfi.org.uk/4ce2b6a5ccec6|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120711234607/http://explore.bfi.org.uk/4ce2b6a5ccec6|url-status=dead|archive-date=2012-07-11|title=Beware of Pity (1946)|work=BFI}}</ref> ''[[Letter from an Unknown Woman (1962 film)|Letter from an Unknown Woman]]'' was filmed in 1962 by [[Salah Abu Seif]].

Anderson said that he had "stolen" from Zweig's novels ''[[Beware of Pity (novel)|Beware of Pity]]'' and ''[[The Post Office Girl|The Post-Office Girl]]'' in writing the film, and it features actors [[Tom Wilkinson]] as The Author, a character based loosely on Zweig, and [[Jude Law]] as his younger, idealised self seen in flashbacks. Anderson also said that the film's protagonist, the concierge Gustave H., played by [[Ralph Fiennes]], was based on Zweig. In the film's opening sequence, a teenage girl visits a shrine for The Author, which includes a bust of him wearing Zweig-like spectacles and celebrated as his country's "National Treasure".<ref>{{cite interview|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/10684250/I-stole-from-Stefan-Zweig-Wes-Anderson-on-the-author-who-inspired-his-latest-movie.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/10684250/I-stole-from-Stefan-Zweig-Wes-Anderson-on-the-author-who-inspired-his-latest-movie.html |archive-date=12 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|last=Anderson|first=Wes|interviewer=George Prochnik|title='I stole from Stefan Zweig': Wes Anderson on the author who inspired his latest movie|newspaper=The Daily Telegraph|date=8 March 2014|access-date=28 November 2017}}{{cbignore}}</ref> The 2017 Austrian-German-French film ''Vor der Morgenröte'' (''[[Stefan Zweig: Farewell to Europe]]'') chronicles Stefan Zweig's travels in the North and South Americas, trying to come to terms with his exile from home.
