BOOK QUOTES:
The Haunted Screen, by Lotte Eisner, pg. 296: ''In the English review Close Up, which so ardently championed Pabst's films in the thirties, a critic claimed that 'Pabst finds the other side of each woman.' This is obviously true in the case of Brigitte Helm, for example, frigid as the two Marias in Lang's Metropolis and so moving in Pabst's Love of Jeane Ney. But how was it that for Abwege or Herrin von Atlantis Pabst failed to warm the impenetrable beauty of this actress, who is as insensitive in these two films as in the title role of both versions of Alraune?''
