Jonathan recognizes "the home of my youth," returning as a "prodigal" son after wenty years.He bears a striking resemblance to "Boris Karloff" (and he monster in the horror filmFrankenstein (1931)) [Karloff originated the homicidal role on stage, but wasn""t released to star in the film, so Massey was ""made up"" to look like him], due to a previous bungled, face-scarring third operation (in a period of five years) while the careless Einstein was drunk: "That last face - I saw that picture too just before I operated."The love scenes between the stars, composed mostly of break-ups and reconciliations, were played out in movement to music.They are separated and Pran is forced to remain when Schanberg and other American journalists and Westerners evacuate to escape a life-threatening situation in occupied-Cambodia during the fall of Phnom Penh in 1975.On a whim and in front of his wife, he proposed to purchase Varinia (due to his liking her "spirit") for 2,000 sesterces, and Batiatus agreed to have his steward escort her to Rome the next day.She is concerned, worried, and uncertain about Henry, and wondering if he is emotionally disturbed.Anxious about her marital partner, she explains how Henry""s most recent letter, the first she has had in four months, makes no sense.
