Just out of curiosity: who is the girl that features in the video of above-
mentioned song?

The excerpts look like she's some famous actor of the 20ies or 30ies.

Thanks
Mike

The girl is **Louise Brooks** and the excerpts are from a classic German
silent movie named ... *Pandora's Box*, directed by G.W. Pabst somewhere in
the middle of 1920's.

I believe that the actress is Louise Brooks. She had a German film in
1927 called Pandora's Box. During the '60's she became sort of a cult classic.
She died in 1985 and an autobiography was printed about her about a year ago.
Quite interesting. She was the one that originally started 'the bob'.(haircut)

Hope this helps!
