“Hogan’s Heroes,” reported to be one Sarah Johnson’s all-time favorite tv shows.
Mr. Stroka also portrayed a German soldier in an episode of “Combat,” another great 1960s ABC series, along with “Dark Shadows.” I guess those nasty Nazi roles helped to prepare Michael Stroka for his roles on DS, particularly as the cruel, shearling coat-wearing and perfectly-coiffed Leviathan convert, Bruno Hess?
A few notes I can share... scenes 218-220 were indeed shot- ...
It was cut out of even Dan Curtis's director's cut, though, most likely just to tighten things up a bit. The dialogue from this scene between Alex and Quentin was edited down and plays over the shot of Carlotta in the tower in the director's cut, and yes it exists. It was replaced with the solo Selby "find Carlotta" voice over to help make sense of the chopped up ending in the short version.
...
And now we begin DC's script's version of Scene 218, which begins with the same opening, but quickly changes:
218 EXT - COLLINWOOD PORTICO - NIGHT 218
as Quentin, Tracy, Alex and Claire stand near the
front door, getting ready to go in. Alex is about
to open the front door, when Quentin stops him.
And that's when today's first quote -Page 101/Scene 218 - Quentin: 'Alex, there's something in there we've got to find.'
- comes up, followed by today's second quote -Page 101/Scene 218 - Alex: 'What are you talking about?'
- coming up.
...
...Page 101/Scene 218 - Quentin: 'In a dream I had, Gabriel threw Charles into a small dark room. I remember that when he hit the floor, he fell over something wooden. Before I could see what it was, Gabriel bolted the door.'
- coming up, followed by yesterday's second quote -Page 101/Scene 218 - Alex: 'Do you remember anything else?'
- coming up, followed by today's first quote -Page 101/Scene 218 - Quentin: 'No - only a sound, and I can't even describe it, but I know I've heard it before.'
- coming up, followed by today's second quote -Page 101/Scene 218 - Alex: 'Well, where do we start?'
- coming up.
...Page 101/Scene 218 - Quentin: 'The room had a heavy iron door --'
- coming up,
...
And, even though the dialogue was reworked, it's interesting that in the rewrite of Scene 218, the only things that were dropped were the references to Quentin choking. Who knows why - especially given the film makes a point of that with Quentin mumbling in his sleep that he can't breath and Tracy trying to wake him but being unable to? But, considering Quentin doesn't consider himself to be Charles, it does make sense that in the rewrite Quentin no longer refers to things in his dream as happening to him but happening to Charles.
And as for the sound Quentin can't identify, we'll hold off on discussing that until we get to Scene 228.

And when it comes to this scene - actually, when it comes to the next entire sequence of Scenes 218 though 220, it's apparently a mystery as to whether or not they were ever shot. Darren Gross wrote on his NoDS Restoration Web site that not only wasn't the sequence part of the recovered footage, but even though the scenes were "blocked in the director's notes, it is unknown whether this sequence was actually shot. Not a single still photo from this sequence has yet turned up." And that's the reason for the weird graphics - they cover both bases of either the scenes were never shot or it's simply a fact that I don't have any stills from them...
...
...
... a change from what's said in the summation at the bottom is that since that post was made a still from Scene 220 was indeed identified and it will be showing up once the slideshow gets to that scene...
And just when you thought we've seen all the alternate versions of scenes that appear in Grayson's script, up pops Scene 218. And we're going to deal with her script's version before DC's script's version ...:
218 EXT - COLLINWOOD PORTICO - NIGHT 218
as Quentin, Tracy, Alex and Claire stand near the
front door, getting ready to go in. Alex is about
to open the front door, when Quentin stops him.
QUENTIN
Alex, all the way up here I've
been thinking --
ALEX
About what?
QUENTIN
One of those dreams that I had...
I think it's important...
Alex looks at him.
QUENTIN
Gabriel and two men locked
Charles Collins in a small dark
room. The thing that was so
terrifying about it was that
when I woke up I felt I was
choking to death...I couldn't
breathe.
TRACY
I remember that!
QUENTIN
There was something else about
that room, too. Because when
they threw me in,my head hit
some kind of a wooden object.
Before I could see what it was,
they slammed the door and bolted
it. Then I heard that sound.
ALEX
What sound?
218 CONTD CONTD 218
QUENTIN
That's it, I don't know.
I can't even describe it.
But I do know I've heard it
before.
ALEX
O.K. What do we look for?
QUENTIN
The door was a heavy iron door --
End of scene as it appears in Grayson's script...
