The German connection is interesting, I get the feeling it came out about five minutes before pre-War propaganda would make sympathetic portrayal of a German character. And the film borrows as much from the Pabst/Louise Brooks German films like Pandora's Box and Diary of a Lost Girl, as much as the obvious connection with Red Headed Woman. <br /><br />Weird how with all the sexual innuendo, it was the Nietsche politics that got censored. A good reminder that so-called pre-Code films were still subject to the threat of local censorship.<br /><br />The music was excellent as well. You don't see much of Green's stuff, but this one deserves a lot more play.Ron in L.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16414593738610885701noreply@blogger.com
