"They saw Die Frau im Mond. Franz was amused, condescending. He picked
at technical points. He knew some of the people who'd worked on the
special effects. Leni saw a dream of flight. One of many possible."
(p.159)

"The countdown as we know it, 10-9-8-u.s.w., was invented by Fritz
Lang in 1929 for the Ufa film Die Frau im Mond. He put it into the
launch scene to heighten the suspense. 'It is another of my damned
"touches,"' Fritz Lang said." (p.753)
