Yes, it is held every year at Staatsoper. Originally it was an event for the

highest class, including kings, foreign statesmen, the rich (not necessarily

the beautiful). Now it has declined to an event for the celebrities, which

includes Mrs Ferguson, skiing champions, Claudia Cardinale, Mrs. Jones (who

boasted to have had sexual intercourse during the event), etc. etc. A

tradition is, that green groups demonstrate against this event and that they

fight fiercly the police. This is transmitted by TV on-line. So it is a

ritual.



I have not seen this movie - I suppose, that I had more important things to

do, than watching this movie, but I remember that the common critics said,

that it was a low level movie, speculative and not realistic.



In the movie, which

I have seen Atomic Train on our TV. I remember this as one of the most

disgusting and most constructed films, which combines show-elements (the

train rushing through a great landscape), cold war politics, "political

correctness" by chosing black actors for being the heros, to the average

American attitude (not only restricted to Americans) to follow a "leader",

the better he is black.

Who would care for it????

P.S.



Falls Sie wieder einmal nach Wien kommen wuerde ich mich sehr freuen, Sie zu

treffen.
