Take a look ...

... at LIFE ON DIGITAL GRUB STREET.

In particular, look at Bach’s face. Is it Bruno Walter he reminds me of, or someone else? He does look familiar.

But yes, it could be Bryan in years to come!

    You have a thing about men named Bruno, Frank? J/kiddin' . . .

    You're right, though. The reconstruction of Bach's face does bear a resemblance to
    Walter Bruno's and does look familiar, though . . . for the life of me . . .

    Then? Eureka! If you smerged the face of Walter Bruno . . .

    . . . with Bryan Appleyard's, that sense of deja voodoo might descend upon you, too. (Or, mebbe it's just th'haircut?)

    Sorry I took so long to report my findings; I blame the swordfight scene in Rob Roy featuring on the Dazzler, Digital Grub Street, to which you link in this post.

    The sequence mesmerises in its pacing, its electrifying use of music, the cuts & close-ups, the long takes . . . It truly makes one fine cinematic statement about overgawds and underdawgs as well intimating something about "the economy of faith" which ties all this Brunotiana together.
