Thanks for your kind and complimentary words, Chava. But don’t sell yourself short. The book is your baby, and you did the bulk of the child-tearing in bringing them to adulthood.
I adore Veidt and look forward to the book you are working on with Chava Bahle. I especially love the detail that fans created a "Keep Veidt Alive on Screen" club. As I have heard the tale, Veidt himself insisted that any Nazi character he plaid should meet a terrible end. I enjoy him so much in early Weimar films, and he was fun to watch in Cukor's A Woman's Face opposite Joan Crawford! Gwynplaine forever! <3
Dr. Brook, as you can imagine I am partial to the post! What I most appreciate is how beautifully and succinctly you bring forward what is important about this project - especially in our current crisis. I appreciate you giving me so much credit, but there's a great deal more "we" than "me," and that's a great honor. I've just crossed the 11 year mark on this endeavor, and without you, it would never be this close to fruition. We met because I was blown away by your writing in "Driven to Darkness." Film noir literally changed my life - I gained a mentor, coach, cheerleader, and above all chosen family.
