68KDie unheimliche Macht: Directed by Michael Mann. With Scott Glenn, Alberta Watson, Jürgen Prochnow, Robert Prosky. Nazis are forced to turn to a Jewish historian for help in battling the ancient demon they have inadvertently freed from its prison.
“As soon as this gem begins, weu0026#39;re dipped into great comedy. An egomanical producer (a very funny John Barrymore) takes lowly fashion model Mildred Plotka (equally funny Carole Lombard) and makes her the darling of Broadway. She rebels from his Svengali-like grasp and heads for Hollywood. Years later, Barrymore, armed with his sidekicks (tipsy Roscoe Karns and whiner Walter Connely) meet Lombard on a cross country train. During this insane adventure thereu0026#39;s hammy Euro-trash Passion Play actors (They think u0026quot;Moocheru0026quot; is some sort of compliment), a kindly old religious nut (armed with repent stickers and bouncing checks) The finale verbal-physical spat of Lombard vs. Barrymore is not for the faint of heart! A Classic comedy Goldmine!!”
