Apparently, he was in
the Reinhardt Company
when Murnau was directing.

:12:03
Schreck. You sure
you have the name right?

:12:05
- He's a character actor.
- Who told you he was playing
the vampire?

:12:10
- Herr Doctor told me.
- I never heard of Max Schreck
in the Reinhardt Company.

:12:14
Herr Doctor told me
he was with Stanislavsky
in Moscow.

:12:18
Oh, dear. One of
the Russian school then.

:12:20
As part of his preparation,
he submerges his own
personality...

:12:23
into that of the character
he's playing.

:12:25
That is why
he is not traveling with us.

:12:29
Herr Doctor told me
he went to Czechoslovakia
weeks ago,

:12:32
to absorb the flavor
of the place, I suppose.

:12:36
Herr Doctor
also told me...

:12:38
that when we get there
and start filming,

:12:40
Max Schreck
will only appear to us
in full makeup and costume,

:12:45
as the vampire.
:12:47
Furthermore,
we will only film him...

:12:51
at night.
:12:53
And why wasn't
I told about it?
I'm the producer.

:12:57
Well, he told me.
:13:05
[ Clamoring ]
:13:14
Tell me
you're not too pretty
to work for me.

:13:17
Yes, sir.
I love the cinema.

:13:20
Friedrich, I just
realized this morning,

:13:24
our financiers, they don't know
what picture you are making.

:13:27
The crew don't know
what picture you're making.

:13:30
The cast don't know
what picture you're making.

:13:32
And now, I don't know
what picture you're making.
Are you happy?

:13:36
Albin.
I know.
Tell them nothing.

:13:39
[ Man ]
There he is.

:13:43
Gentlemen, I'm Albin Grau,
producer and art director
of this picture.

:13:48
Is it true Murnau is filming
Stoker's Dracula?

:13:51
Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau
is Germany's greatest filmmaker,

:13:55
in a class with such masters
as Refice and Eisenstein.
