not sure cause it was nothing to do with her lack of voice. Cause she had laryngitus.

I was wondering the same thing. Might not be anyone in particular, just a guy in a suit...

reply

I was thinking Chaplin but my view may have been skewed with her inability to speak.

reply

The writer/director in the commentary says that she was supposed to be Julius Rosenberg, apparently she was there with a male friend who was dressed as Ethel Rosenberg. The director admits that this did not come across as he had hoped it would.

reply

Aloha!

Yeah, I didn't get that at all either (maybe if the Ethel Rosenberg character was in the scene!) - I thought Chaplin - but no moustache....

reply

Interesting that the father came out to him, and he is attracted to a woman in a suit.....hm....what would Freud say?

Swing away, Merrill....Merrill, swing away...

reply

Ha!
For a moment I thought the film was going to say her distress was because she was in denial and it would be a reversal of his father's situation. But only for a moment.

reply

She was supposed to be Charlie Chaplin - the silent film star and director.

Why the hell do people keep thinking Chaplin? That would have been an absolutely DREADFUL Chaplin.

reply

I have to admit I thought Chaplin at first as well. I too thought it was a poor Chaplin, but thought 'silent film star - laryngitis'. Good info on the Julius Rosenberg thing though.

reply

I thought she was supposed to be Buster Keaton.... nevermind I see she was supposed to be Julius Rosenberg.

She kinda came across as Marlena Dietrich to me, but that's generally what I think when I see a feminine woman in a men's suit.
