Is that bit player Michael Marks as the bald man with the moustache in the diner (at 1:09 on the DVD)? Marks is perhaps best remembered as the father of Little Maria in Frankenstein (1931), who carries his daughter's lifeless body to the burgomeister.
shareI watched this movie for the first time today.
During the diner scene, I noticed the actor in question and said to myself, "Hey, it's Little Maria's father!" This was before I saw your posting on the message board, so I wasn't influenced by your opinion.
I believe we are right in identifying him as Michael Mark, though IMDB does not include "City Girl" in his filmography.
What a career he had, from the silent days to "Hello, Dolly" with stops along the way for "Frankenstein," "Casablanca," "The Ten Commandments," and dozens of others.
R.I.P, Michael Mark!
