This raven is dedicated to all cinemas that show films in their original version and on properly large screens, as well as to Kurt, the operator, and my second living room, the Filmpodium of the city of Zurich. "When Clark Gable, Howard Hawks, and William Faulkner once drove through Palm Springs, the conversation also turned to literature. Gable, whose ignorance was considered almost classic, casually asked Hawks' gray-haired friend which writers he thought were worthwhile. 'Thomas Mann, Willa Cather, John Dos Passos, Ernest Hemingway, and I,' said Faulkner. Gable seemed mildly surprised. 'Oh, you write, Mr. Faulkner?' he asked. 'Yes,' said Faulkner, 'and what do you do, Mr. Gable?'" Otto Friedrich, "City of Nets," a portrait of Hollywood in the 1940s. "The last time I was - wait, I think it was 1956 - 'at the cinema'; and even then only because it was said that the screenplay had been written by WERFEL; what was the thing called? - 'Damm=Da=Dámm=Da and the Colonel' (I no longer remember the first name; but it was 4 syllables, and had the accent on the penultimate). The theme was significant enough; unfortunately, 'it was not lacking in humor,' and to such a silly degree that I felt ashamed for the author, director, and actors." Arno Schmidt to Alfred Andersch on August 16, 1960.
