Whereas in Europe Janos was the grand host and socialite, it was Lazlo who became the more recognized in Cairo and thereabouts. Lazlo Almazy and his brother Janos lived in Castle Bernstein, a medieval fort-like abode situated on a dominating hill in Austria's parochial Burgenland which borders Hungary. "One thing the multilingual Lazlo was not" says Semeika who hasn't seen the movie, "a dashing Casanova". Instead he is remembered as an explorer, a self-proclaimed geographer and a daredevil pilot, elements no doubt which made The English Patient the success it is.

Lazlo was an introvert with a bit of an inferiority complex but the one with the most diverse life experience. "Janos was the convivial bon viveur always surrounded by beautiful women. "Lazlo was the least charismatic of the two Almazy brothers" recalls former jet-setter and Egyptian polo champion Victor-Mansour Semeika. Lazlo Almazy: pilot, explorer, soldier, spy.
