    Is that a fleur-de-lis brand on his head? If so, that means a criminal act in his past…?

    One last fling before I slip into the Cinecon vortex. The man is our favorite funny guy Gustav von Seyffertitz. The film I believe is THE RED MARK 1928.

    Is it possibly The Red Mark (1928) or When Knighthood Was in Flower (1922)?

    I would say it was George Arliss as “Disraeli,” but I have seen Arliss and this just ain’t him.
