  Oldrich Novy : I was once well known in Czechoslovakia, because of my profession.

  District Attorney : Yes, Mr. Oldrich Novy, what is your profession? Maybe that can give us a clue to why, why this somewhat romantic, certainly Communistic, woman who worships Fred Astaire, but not his country, why she might have lied and misused your name - make everybody think that all the money was spent on a poor father and not on her own vanity. What is it that you do?

  Oldrich Novy : I was an actor. I made films - they were musicals.

  Norman : Apart from it's musicals! She said the American one - the American ones were better.

  District Attorney : So, the defendant preferred Hollywood to Vladivostok.
