Yesterday, I watched Louis J. Gasnier and George Cukor's The Virtuous Sin, which is a pretty serviceable romdramedy (romantic comedy-drama, which a subject matter that should not work, yet somehow kinda does). Victor's actor is destroying the ever-loving-fuck out of the scenery with his mashers, though. He's the worst part.

Anyway, the reason I watched it was, essentially, very shallow. Paramount had a German version made. And in the role of General Platoff, we have Conrad Veidt. And I want it so bad.

I want to see him go from "Ironface" (Eisengesicht?)

To whatever this is

I want to see him hold a coat to the air and throw documents at people and play with and throw around a riding crop (yes, I know Kaiserin exists but you know he would do it completely different here). I want to hear him say those lines! I want to see him on the seesaw! The seesaw! And that uniform...
