CONRAD

Propaganda

Peter Falk (The Great Race, Robin and the 7 Hoods)—let me just quote Frank Capra: "the entire production was agony ... except for Peter Falk. He was my joy, my anchor to reality. Introducing that remarkable talent to the techniques of comedy made me forget pains, tired blood, and maniacal hankerings to murder Glenn Ford (the film's star)." i also just find scrungly little guys to be the peak of attraction.

Conrad Veidt (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, The Man Who Laughs)—the ultimate goth boy! as well as classics like the cabinet of dr caligari, the man who laughs (which his character in was the visual inspiration for the joker) and casablanca, he starred in the german polemic melodrama different from the others in 1919 in one of the first sympathetic portrayals of gay characters in cinema, co-written by the gay researcher & activist magnus hirschfeld much of whose pioneering research on human sexual diversity was destroyed by the nazis

This is round 3 of the bracket. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut]

[editor's note: I received such an enormous volume of propaganda for Veidt I could only include some of it here—and unfortunately Tumblr isn't letting me repost any gifs at all, which I didn't expect! Please don't be offended if something you sent in didn't make the cut.]

"Just look at him your honor. Ich würde"

Peter Falk propaganda:

"listen Peter Falk saved the day for me in robin in the 7 hoods. he saved me in it's a mad mad mad mad world. he damn right resuscitated me in the great race. every movie this man is in is made better by his presence and he should eat the competition alive."

Submitted: "1:56:30 on for Peter Falk's ass in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. yes he falls off a building yes he drives a cab yes he hates the cops"

Happy Caligari day, Veidtnation!

On February 26, 1920, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari premiered in Berlin, Germany.

[thebrideofreanimator]

what are some facts about the cabinet of dr caligari that u know

• the writers very much disliked the plot twist at the end and stated it was forced on them

• The story took inspiration from a real life events the writers witnessed. hans janowitz believed he witnessed a murder at a fair. he saw a girl disappear with a man and learned she was murdered at the fair the next day.

• a lot of the details of the production of the film are unknown because there are a lot of conflicting stories

• one french theater played it for 7 years straight

• before the films release, posters were hung all around that read “du musst caligari werden” with no further explanation

• conrad veidt stayed in character the whole time and would scare the other cast members lol

• don’t know much about this but i remember reading something about there being deleted scene with alan’s ghost at one point

• the most popular interpretations of this movie include it being meant to be a commentary on war or the state of germany at the time, with caligari representing the government/authority and cesare representing the common man blindly following orders. Janowitz has stated cesare represents a common man being conditioned to kill (like soldiers in war training) and caligari the government sending them off to war/death
