Down with the lift, Sir !, 24 July 2000
9/10
Author: (amikus2000) from Marburg

Psycho criminal pure by Carl Schenkel, who is active in Hollywood, like Mrs Soutendijk. Goetz George and Hannes Jaenicke are stealing the spectator's last peace of snugness. They are too able, how can I get calm into a lift next time ?
