Brigitte never struck me as one to play with dolls, and here I am thinking the dolls are a little unsure as to whether or not they really want to be there.

Brigitte appeared as the lead in Alraune in both the 1928 silent version and the 1930 sound version, two completely separate productions.

Thanks, gentlemen, but I light my own.
