FRA BOGEN
"Alle troede at han var død. Da min bog om Hector Manns film blev udgivet i 1988, havde man ikke set noget til ham i næsten tres år. Bortset fra et par filmhistorikere og nogle cineaster, var der ikke mange der overhovedet anede, at han havde see more eksisteret. ́Double or nothing ́(Kvit eller dobbelt), den sidste af de tolv kortere film han lavede mod slutningen af stumfilmperioden, havde premiere den 23. november 1928. Uden at sige farvel til sine venner eller kolleger, uden at efterlade sig et brev eller sige noget til nogen, forlod han to måneder senere det hus han havde lejet på North Orange Drive, og siden har ingen set ham ... I min bog ́The Silent World af Hector Mann ́(Hector Manns tavse verden), skrev jeg ikke ret meget om hans liv. Bogen handlede om hans film. Eftersom han var født i år 1900, og eftersom han sidst var blevet set i 1929, ville det aldrig være faldet mig ind at antyde, at han stadig levede. De døde kravler ikke op af deres grave, og som jeg så det, ville kun en død mand kunne holde sig skjult i så land tid."
