I saw both Cariou and Andrews. It’s intriguing in hindsight, considering how the character is referred to as “poor old Frederick,” when neither was close to that description. And it was only 3 years after Cariou was Bacall’s younger boyfriend in Applause, decidedly a plot point. That is a fast descent from young hunk to “poor old.” In truth, the turn of the century underwear-clad Cariou was anything but.
