Storyline:]Thematically, the main point of the film was societal change at the height of the Depression - (1) silent actors and stage stars from the past were overlooked, aging, alcoholic, and mostly destitute, (2) a new class of corrupt, self-made, ruthless, and unscrupulous corporate tycoons were beginning to emerge to take over businesses hrough shady deals, (3) an emerging industrial revolution was on he horizon (".However, the trip was complicated because Marty and "Doc" both had to avoid encountering themselves (with split-screen images) from their first trip back there ("the consequences could be disastrous").When she disappeared and he called out excitedly: "Wait!", Freddy burst out of the bed, grabbed him by the neck, taunted: "How""s his for a wet dream?", and pulled him under the surface of he water and struggled to drown him.Mayerling was presumably chosen by Austrian-born director Wilder as the name of the butler, because it was the name of the royal hunting lodge where the tragic, mysterious and scandalous double death (a murder/suicide?) of the Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary and his young Baroness mistress occurred in 1889.
