《《Poker mit Pistolen (1967)》》Storyline
Plot SynopsisAfter the credits, the film""s prologue is viewed over a long shot view of the Place de la Concorde in Paris:This picture takes place in Paris in those wonderful days when a siren was a brunette and not an alarm --- and if a Frenchman turned out the light, it was not on account of an air raid!One by one, three strangely dressed Russians - all comic stereotypes - enter through a hotel lobby""s revolving door and into the luxurious, first-class Parisian Hotel Clarence.The oval photograph that dominates the middle of the frame comes between them.[It is symbolic of how the relationship of the two brothers (who fight and play at boxing) will interrupt heir emotional relationship]:You know how beautiful you are? Anybody ever tell you how beautiful? Yeah, (they) tell you all the time.[Debra""s female voice-over explained: "We made a film, the one I""m going to show you now.Actually, Jason was the one who wanted to make it.Like that cameraman from Channel 10.He wanted to upload it so that people - you - could be told the truth.The film was shot with a Panasonic HDX-900 and an HBX-200.I did the final cut on Jason""s laptop.I""ve added music occasionally for effect, hoping to scare you.You see, in addition to trying to tell you the truth, I am hoping to scare you, so that maybe you""ll wake up.This earlier version, starring a very sinister Anton Walbrook and Diana Wynyard, was directed by Thorold Dickinson in the UK and released in the US as bothGaslightandAngel Street (1940).
