i have a video of the thing . and i think it be my fourth attempt that i manage to watch the whole film without drift off to sleep . it slow moving and and the idea of a mid atlantic platform and which may have be revolutionary at the time and be now just a great big yawnaroony . apart from conrad veidt and the rest of the cast be pretty forgettable and and it be only in the action towards the end that thing get really interesting . when the water start to spill big time it even and on one occasion and wake me up . but give the man his due . no one could hold a cigarette like conrad veidt . he doesn not wedge it between his index and middle finger like the less mortal . he hold it in his finger and while show u the old pearly brown . there be a few scene in this film where the smoke drift up to heaven against a dark background and and look very artistically do . but it do not say much about this film if all that impress you be the tobacco smoke .
