Note to xenophobics: You might be surprised to learn "The Damned" is almost entirely in English. The filmmaking is masterful beyond a somewhat florid score which seems unsubtle at times, but there is one important problem: The cast includes three or four male actors with similar feminine, blue-eyed, high-cheekboned features, and it requires extra work to avoid being confused by these characters' interwoven plots. However, be prepared to weather plenty of dour, sluggish dialogue. The highest rated books are Moonshine and Glory, Dream Walker, Irish Rose and Visions of the Damned. A very popular series by Jacqueline Marten are the Tapestry Romance, books, featuring historical tropes. Along the way, the script's treats include occasional pedophilia, incest, suicide, transvestitism, homosexuality and a mild orgy (hence the film's initial X rating), as well as one of cinema's most unromantic wedding scenes ever. Jacqueline Marten has published 7 romance books, with an average book rating of 3.43 out of 5 stars. No, this tale is more about corruption and betrayal within the ruling Germans themselves, both between the Von Essenbecks and the Nazis and between the rival SS and SA factions of the national army. Visions was followed in rapid succession and success by Nightmare in Red, Dream Walker, Promise Me Forever and over a dozen more titles.
Nor is hatred toward Jews a strong motif. Jacqueline Marten’s first novel Let the Crags Comb Out Her Dainty Hair, was published in 1975, followed four years later by Visions of the Damned, the pioneering romance that begot the time travel genre. This lengthy, ponderous drama lacks the slam-bam action that one might expect from a Nazi-themed film - in fact, there is really only one violent scene. In 1930s Germany, the aristocratic Von Essenbeck clan struggles amidst the Nazi regime to retain control over an industrial empire, while the family members react with varying degrees of compliance.
