Rush #3- Create an "L" cut

When thinking back to the film "To Be or Not to Be," I found one instance I thought would be a good place for an "L" cut. Before we really know the characters the audience Maria Tura, a famous actress is in her dressing room. By this point I think we knew she was married but did not know any status or knowing of their personalities. The scene is when Lieut. Stanislav Sobinski comes into her room and begins telling her how wonderful of an actress she is, an "L" cut could be made cutting to her husband ( something showing he is connected to her) to show her in another light, rather than making it so clear cut in the beginning. To have the audience find that out through an "L" cut when she is flirting with the fan would create a bigger impact in the scene.

  1. Yeah, I like this idea. It would work best if her language could be taken two ways (so as to logically make sense within both contexts: her flirting with the young airman and her actual relationship with her husband. That'd be a good illustration of what Freud calls "unifiation."
