Two superfluous characters?


They may have been victims of editing, either back in 1940 or for my TV version, but I wonder what was the point of including (1) the girl with dark glasses (presumably blind?)who joined the party on the stage in the opening sequence and (2) von Scherer's assistant who was introduced to the Brauns and then left, never to be seen again.

Not a bad film, but not nearly as good as Grapes of Wrath. Nice to see the Duke in his prime. But was the dust really that bad, or did the film exaggerate it for effect?
