‘It has to be said that Warlow put on a magnificent performance, providing Brightman with unstinting backing and support – even if he did eclipse her in some parts.

Franz Kafka, from a letter to Milena Jesenka featured in "Letters to Milena,

A heartbreaking Davis Gaines hand thing.

Edit: Boots are cinema because do you SEE how this master lets the camera linger on the empty space even after Christine leaves the frame? Do you understand we give filmmakers oscars for this kind of thing?!
