Especially sensitive people are likely to be explicitly outspoken or take actions to that effect when angry. After the Second World War Anton Walbrook returned to Germany because he had been offered to star in a movie. Something he did not know was that Lida Baarova was to be his co-star. Yet as soon as he found out he got back to England and ended his involvment, the movie was never shot. I guess there were too many dead people, people that have been important to Anton, even some whose child he had been able to save, between them. Lida had her own skeleton in the closet. Yet the German media would take Baarova's side blaming Walbrook because he was unforgiving.
Because it is so beautiful: Allegedly Emeric Pressburger's favourite scene of all of his movies and also allegedly Anton's speech was not written by Pressburger but by Anton himself:
