I see the woman holding the dress in front as LG, not Woman #1. As well, I can just not tell if that's a lens or the reflection of a phonograph record. (She is in color, though.)
Later, the girl who teaches Sue to 'see' is in b/w and the record is spinning and the surface hiss is present. This one appears to be probably also the girl' who does not know where I am' at the seance. That Smithy/Piotrek does not see her might indicate that he( at this moment, well before he comes to Cal and hides the pistol he has been given) or she, come to think, may be from the radio days, before video.
**I see the curse as compeling the actors in any version of the old gypsy tale's story to live out the lives of the characters in the story, to 'reflect' them.
I see The Phantom as wanting to get into this story and being allowed to in order to eliminate him. Seemingly, he wants to be eliminated. NOTE: The Phantom does not seem limited to any sex or role: he appears as The Man In the Green Coat, as we are told, and as Bad Sue. Wheher he is identical with the curse...dunno, open-minded.
Janek and the other old men seem a cabal that is attempting to lift the curse.
***My wife totally rejects the idea that The Phantom has made a previous appearance as the man behind Winkie's , 'the one who is causing it all', in MD. Then who the fuck is he?
****'Routes', more and more I speculate about routes, 'you can't get there from here', 'you can't get to Pomona from here' as it relates to the 'climax' of the film. At least we can see where the 'Locomotion' stuff might come from in that light. Also, Actions pull consequences like an engine pulls freight cars.
