who set the stage first for off-kilted romantic examples for those such as I.....I don't remember the film, but I do remember a scene that I viewed as an adolescent, in which Dirk, in arty clothing that was hardly fashionable for a romantic lead, casts a lingering eye about the dreary landscape outside the window of the controlled and contained world in which he exists, with only a glimmer of dreams in his eyes. Then, he turns away, a veil, compelled by his victorian indoctrinations, falling across his vision....then, after a fraction of a second, he turns, sharply, again looking out the same window.....the scene comes into sharp focus....he lifts a brow of acknowledgment...looks inward......(cut to the door)...a voice....."Are you all right, in there?"
