But yeah: French TCM! Jonathan Rosenbaum better watch his back, KJB is gunning for him.

Tom Gunning (of 'cinema of attractions' and 'minor cinema' fame)? (another idol)

Jannings, having assured himself of the acting ability of a basket of eggs by opening one and noting its evil sulphurous content, handed the basket to me, and said, "Surely you will not forego the pleasure of smashing a few of these eggs on my head so that I know exactly how you wish me to play this

Never heard of that Gunning, but judging by google images, he could be one of ILX's Big Beard Boys.

I was not bothered with all this during the prenatal period, and I was neither a psychoanalyst nor an obstetrician, but a film director and heretofore every conceivable whimsy on the part of an actor had somehow been digested

oh that special project!
Alfred, you & Orson ... need to reconsider.
Rolls Royce is only "gay" in the '20s sense, ie, he's played by an English character actor.

how do you explain the performance and dialogue?
I didn't dislike Underworld! Its grit and command of the American vernacular was just unexpected. I expected smoke, mirrors, and bizarre fade-outs.

anyway, Brook's more like Eric Blore than Franklin Pangborn.
The intertitles also have RR and Feathers overcoming a mutual attraction. They can be ignored when it's convenient.

Watched Underworld last night. Not as atmospheric as I had expected but it was compelling, especially the last half-hour or so.

Kinda looks like the CC box of Marlene/JvS is irresistible, half-price at B&N.

I revere every single one of his Dietrich movies, except The Blue Angel.

The box set was revelatory in my part of town at the beginning of the year. I may check it out of the uni library again.
