COUNTRY Germ-UK-US

LENGTH 106

GENRE War

DIRECTOR Andrew Birkin

CAST Faye Dunaway

Klaus Maria Brandauer

David Eberts

NOTES A boy is having treatment for severe asthma, a man has a

lung problem after a bayonet wound in WWI, though the scar

is well below his lungs. Some early medical procedures

shown. Beautiful photography but very little happens. The

Count charms the boy and romances his mother. Then they

both shut the boy out of their lives and he catches the train

home.

Highly symbolic and serious.
