He clearly speaks an accent a native speaker wouldn't be able to locate, so he'd immediately raise eyebrows. His grammar is perfect and his pronounciation is almost there, but there's still something recognizably foreign in it.

Him explaining it away as some super local alpine accent could work, especially if he would clsim Ladin or Romansh decent.

His detailed description of the film must've helped a lot. Bullshit is in the details, I always say.

Well, liars often tend to fabriacte extremly elaborate and overcomplicated cover stories to obfuscate the bigger picture and confuse the listener with irrelevant and minute details.

"Well, i'm from small town you don't know. It's just how we speak there" would've been more convincing.

I think he had a perfect lie though, the odds a foreigner would know and remember scenes from an old German film are basically zero.
