Talk:Curt Siodmak

Untitled
Siodmak lived for many year in Three Rivers, CA, a close city to it being Visalia. I listened to one of the Wolfman movies and swore that the town in it was called "Visalia" but I think it's "Visaria". The question is, was Siodmak inspired by the name of Visalia? I am not sure the dates he lived near there but I know he was in Three Rivers in the 1970s and perhaps well before.--Jrm2007 08:06, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Pseudo-science?
Toward the end of the "Life and career" section here, the Jekyll and Hyde complex, the Nazi trauma, and the East-West dichotomy are listed as pseudo-scientific motifs, with the links I've repeated in this sentence.

The article for the last of these three immediately makes clear how the motif may be considered pseudo-scientific. But there is nothing in either of the other two articles to explain that description. The consequences of Nazism indubitably included trauma, both physical and psychological. The Jekyll/Hyde story is fantasy or science fiction, not pseudo-science, and nowhere in the article is a psychological complex mentioned. Nor have my 'Net searches turned up any relevant information on either phrase, in or out of Wikipedia.

I would hope that someone more familiar than I with Siodmak's work (it's been quite a while for me) would revise the links and/or the statement for accuracy.
