@IngridHexerl How about "Ukrainian writer"?

Was this song in the film? Sounds almost like something lifted from a

Disney cartoon.

As in the description, it is at 37min. Maybe it reminds you of the classic When You Wish Upon a Star from Pinocchio.

Hollywood has lost a legend.

Spanned six decades, the film career of the famous enough for his good looks cast whose acting repertoire by psychopathic serial killer to the adventure hero. He leaves behind a legacy of great illustrations. In his paintings and collages.

I believe the 17 year old actress in this scene is the woman Curtis had an affair with--the affair that helped break up his marriage to, I believe Janet Leigh.
