Under The Red RobeDecember 28, 2008 April J. Rosenthal I received my DVD very quickly and it is in good condition. Its an interesting film where Conrad Veidt is the good guy in 17th Century France instead of playing a Nazi. Did you know Mr Veidt was in a concentration camp before World War II? The British ambassador protested and he was released and fled to England. He donated his income to the British war effort in gatitude until his untimely death in 1942. When I discovered this information, I wanted to start watching his films.
