	Guardian \| Elisabeth Furse
		Elisabeth Furse, who has died aged 92 - with mind, teeth and fearless spirit pretty well intact - was a second world war heroine and a lifelong defier of convention.
		Here, she fell for the bisexual actor Elisabeth Bergner, in whose dressing-room she once asked the visiting Marlene Dietrich, "What is marriage like?" "I lie on my back, and count the flies on the ceiling," was the languid reply.
		Elisabeth refused, saying that equality ruled in the Bistro, and she was its only madam.

	As You Like It (1936 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was the final film of stage actors Leon Quartermaine and Henry Ainley, and featured an early screen role for Ainley's son Richard as Sylvius, and for John Laurie, who played Orlando's brother Oliver.
		Bergner had previously played the role of Rosalind in her native Germany and her German accent is apparent in most of her scenes.
		Frederick allows the exiled Duke's daughter, Rosalind (Elisabeth Bergner), however, to stay, as she is the closest friend of his daughter, Celia (Sophie Stewart).

	Geiger von Florenz, Der (1926) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Elisabeth Bergner is probably best remembered (in Britain, at least) for playing Rosalind in 'As You Like It', a role which she spent most of her screen time cross-dressed as Ganymede, the counterfeit boy.
		Bergner spends most of this film in male disguise, yet the attempts to transform her into a 'boy' are so perfunctory as to be downright laughable.
		I suspect that Czinner was unwilling to compromise Bergner's substantial female charms, and reluctant to present her to audiences as anything less than 100% feminine.

		Born in the Ukraine, and having first appeared in the Berlin silent film "Der Evangelimann" in 1923, Elisabeth Bergner acts like a silent actress, and "As You Like It" appears to be her first English-speaking role.
		Elisabeth Bergner´s performance is affected and histrionic but an interesting dynamic develops (whether intentionally or unintentionally) between her Ganymede and Olivier´s Orlando.
		Elisabeth Bergner stars as Rosalind, the daughter of an exiled Duke, who falls in love with Orlando (Olivier), the son of one of her father´s courtiers.

		In 1933, Bergner and her husband, the Czech director Paul Czinner, fled to Britain where she continued to alternate between stage and screen.

		Top billing, however, went to Elisabeth Bergner, a popular Austrian actress at the time; it should be noted that the director, Paul Czinner, was also her husband!
		Bergner actually recommended Olivier for the part after seeing him in the 1935 production of Romeo and Juliet, put on by his friend and colleague John Gielgud.
		Bergner reportedly declared to Czinner, "That is the man I want as my partner." Olivier was not sure about taking the role; his pal Gielgud was opposed to the idea of filming Shakespeare.

		For quite a while, people drink tea and drone on about Beauty in an atmosphere more amorous than ominous; then the wife turns weak and wan — though not from knowing that her husband is hitting it up with a young widow two villas away.
		Carroll to explain to the second why she is weak in the knees: Painter Jory is slowly poisoning her so he can marry the widow.
		Actress Bergner is by turns gay, childlike, passionate, pathetic, bewildered, frightened and frantic; and though at moments a little hard to believe, she is always exciting to watch.

		Purposely designed to exhibit her extraordinary versatility, it becomes a sort of steeplechase of the emotions in which, as Gemma, a strangely sophisticated yet completely unworldly waif married to a pompous, self-centred young musical genius, Actress Bergner is called upon to take more spiritual hurdles than occur in any normal lifetime.
		If this is true, Miss Bergner's performance in Escape Me Never goes far to justify the encomiums of critics who, after Catherine the Great, called her a cinematic Duse.
		In other respects, though it is a definite improvement on the wooden play written under the same title by Margaret Kennedy as a sequel to The Constant Nymph and performed by Elisabeth Bergner in London and Manhattan (TIME, Jan. 28).
