Between Worlds is another German film (notwithstanding its "European" label). It is not as good as Dr. Caligari, having a more amphorus texture, more turgid symbolism, more labored scenic effort for sensation.

Fritz Lang directed; Lil Dagover performed this...

Martin Luther finally came to the conclusion that Rome was in error on this point. He said, in effect: "The bread and wine do not become the Body and Blood of Christ, but they have the effect of being so." Eventually Protestants went further and declared that the bread and wine were simply a sacred token of the Body of Christ...
