[edit] Nude model actors

Were they all credited in casting at imdb? models or actors? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.154.212.240 (talk • contribs) 02:30, 2 November 2007

[edit] Soundtrack

The song "Wien, du stadt meiner traume" is credited on some versions of the movie. I've checked my copy carefully and can't find it on the list. Does anyone know why that is, and exactly where in the movie this song is used? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.217.179.200 (talk • contribs) 09:59, 17 June 2006

[edit] Plot Summary

The summary seems longer than the Wiki watchdogs usually allow. I'm actually not against long plot summaries (if something can be long and a "summary" at the same time), but I suspect that it will have to be chopped up and sectioned off into the main article. There's also a lot of factual errors or questionable interpretation for a summary. E.g.,

1. "During the party, an older Hungarian man (Sky Dumont) tries to seduce Alice, while two younger models try to seduce Bill. Alice and Bill both resist their respective temptations. "

Bill doesn't "resist." He's interuputed and asked to go upstairs. A key plot detail is that, later, when the conversation arises about the party girls, Bill can claim to have not been going to have sex with them. True, he might of had he had time, but he didn't have a chance to resist as it turns out.

2. "Bill goes to the apartment of the patient and the daughter, Marion (Marie Richardson), says she wants to give up her life to be with Bill...."

Actually, she said that even if she could never see Bill again, she wanted to at least live "near" him. She did not say anything about giving up her life (or presumably her marriage). She simply said that she did not want to move to Michigan. I wouldn't want to go to MI either, but that's different from saying that I want to give up my life.

3. "His interest piqued, Bill coerces Nick into divulging the secret party's requirements: a black robe with a hood, and a mask. He also learns the location and more importantly, the password: Fidelio..."

Nick only said that Bill wouldn't be allowed into the party dressed as he was. He then explained that he would need to wear a costume. He gave no details. The fact that Bill showed up at the party wearing precisely the costume that everyone else was wearing was, well, something that helped to make this movie a "mystery."

There are other examples where things might be clarified or corrected, but I was just wanting to point out that we probably should think of re-doing the plot summary. I can help work on it if needed. C d h (talk) 21:44, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
