Talk:Max Schreck
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Die Strasse
I can't seem to find any verification that no copies of Schreck's film, Die Strasse, are extant. The IMDB page has a review of the film which seems to suggest that the author has actually seen it. In addition, there are some pages on the internet that specifically mention that Die Strasse is one of the few Schreck films still in existence. Which is it? Can anyone shed some light on this?
One more thing, the 2000 movie Shadow of the Vampire is austensibly about the production of the 1922 movie Nosferatu. In Shadow Wilem Dafoe plays the character that appears as the lead role of the Vampire. Dafoe's performance is brilliant, however he actually portrays his character as a real vampire that is also playing the role of a vampire in the 1922 production. What results is a very interesting movie, but at the cost of portraying the actor that immortalized vampires in Nosferatu as a fiend, instead of the well respected and accomplished actor that Max Schreck was. Something might be said about that.
[edit] Birthday of a Vampire(actor)
Regarding to several websources, his birthday was not June 11th but September 6th. I found the June birthday only on IMDB and Wiki related sources. Also the day he died seem to be not accurate, as the February 19th can be found in the web. --Doclecter 09:32, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
