He has a one-track mind. You're either in or your out. Make your choice and live with it. Cruelly unperturbable, yes, but admirable all the same.<br><br>Thanks for the link Gareth.

Anton Walbrook is the eye of the storm; playing God to the people around, him who are full of desperate hope. Marius Goring and Moira Shearer poured their souls into this film, showing us how our dreams can be ripped from us to serve the cruel mind of a despotic impressario. We feel their pain as their genius is exploited; yet envy their vision and desire to fulfil their ambitions. Do we have to sell our souls in order to stay true to our dreams?
