The Prize (1963 film)

25 December 1963 USA

The Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded to Andrew Craig Paul Newman, who seems to be more interested in women and drinking than writing. When he arrives in Stockholm for the award ceremony, he is delighted to find that the Swedish Foreign Department has sent the beautiful Inger Lisa Andersson Elke Sommer as his personal chaperone. When Craig arrives at his hotel, he is introduced to another laureate, Dr. Max Stratman Edward G. Robinson, a famous GermanAmerican physicist, who is accompanied by his niece Emily Diane Baker.When Craig meets Stratman for the second time, at a press conference, Stratman acts as if they had never met before and also displays a change in personality, despising photographs and being less talkative. Craig then, with no time to further talk to Dr. Stratman, has to give his interview, and in short succession admits to suffering from writers block for years, having not even started his highly anticipated next novel, Return to Carthage, and having written pulp detective stories to pay the rent. He even suggests that he may have lost his talent. Asked for an example of developing a detective story, he suggests the possibility that Stratman may be an impostor. ........
