The screen adaptation of my life story leads to a collaboration with Alfred Hitchcock who without prior consultation introduces Kim Novak into the script. A looming intimacy is rejected, I break with him in conflict. The meeting with Buster Keaton also does not proceed as desired. At first Keaton throws my script into the Schliersee, then he destroys my film set. A journey to Franz Liszt in Paris eventually brings about a twist...
