Anne's Niche: Actress

Character: The Countess

Cast and Crew

My Too Cents:

This was a pretty good movie. It deals with the story of the Hindenburg that exploded when it was landing in America. There are a few theories as to why the Hindenburg exploded and this movie goes along with the theory that it was sabotaged. Anne plays the Countess from Germany who says she is taking the trip to the US to visit her daughter and stay with friends for a vacation. As it happens, the nazis are using her land and think she may know some secrets so there is a subplot of them trying to figure out if she does know and not wanting her to stay in the US. There are a few graphic parts with blood and such and due to the fact that when they filmed this they almost burned down the soundstage after the fire got out of control, the crash scene is also mixed with accual footage of the real Hindenburg. It is worth your time if you like this kind of movie. Oh yeah, and Anne smokes pot or opium or something not tobacco in this. It's quite funny to see her sitting there all dignified with her little hitter.
