Movies are for me either good or bad. I can watch Woody Allen 1970 classic Bananas for laugh, & made me chuckle , or I can find interesting some 'B' movies like the 1948 classic Naked City or even Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry classics. But so called 'art films' either makes sense to me like Kurosawa The Seven Samurais or I think is a waste like Bergman Thru the Glass Darkly? About a girl left out of the loony farm or this one. So Dr Rosenthal was playing around with a flight attendant, & the role played by Woody Allen seems not getting well with his assistance played by Mia Farrow, not a bad actress by the way. Because Dr Rosenthal fears his wife, hire a cousin or brother to kill her. And the documentary director, Allen, get crushed by the guy played by Alan Alda, quite obnoxious this guy, after Allen compared him to Mussolini. What I don't get is this ridiculous agony of the doctor, & Allen felt down. And forget Judaism. These things happen to everybody irrespective of religion, color, language or nationality. And one last comment: funny how 'friendly' Allen character gets chummy friendly with a 12 years old girl, & what happens when the wife of Dr Rosenthal finds money missing in the bank account? Murders aren't cheap or free. And hated the double talk pjilosopher, or clown, talking phony on the background. Good he committed suicide by jumping thru the window. I hope he had a happy landing😁

A silent forgotten classic about human hypocrisy. A monk, who also played the Catholic priest, makes a nude statue of a young woman representing truth. But general self righteous fanatics destroy the statue & kill its creator. Move to the beginning of the XX century, a Catholic priest gives a sermon condemning human hypocrisy, & excepting two women who seems to agree with him, the rest of the congregation are displeased & want to get rid of the priest because they prefer the old way doing thing & refused to recant. Then truth appeared to the monk as a naked spirit, & take him & those who follow him up the hill & passing the Gate of Truth. And see in politics, family & society in general humans have not changed but preferring to live in lies & corruption.. Many participants are mostly unknown but we can assume Lois Weber played one of the church members. & Margaret Edwards was the nude spirit. Not much do I know about Ms Edwards but there is a photo of her dressed in the 1920s as a flapper. And spent some decades appearing in uncredited roles in silent, & talkies. Dying of old age in the 1970s. I don't want to sound intellectual but in today's worlf we haven't change at all. German philosopher Nietzsche, Kierkegaard Richard Dawkins wouldn't be surptised.
