A warm, comfortable comedy, 14 June 2008
7/10
Author: zedmib from United States

I came across this film in an attempt to find some movies with Max Schreck in them and was able to work out the plot with the aid of my high-school German. Max does appear in the film (as part of a group of comic henchman), but he plays a minor part and only appears to any extent toward the end of the film. As has already been mentioned, Alfred Abel steals the show as a rich, eccentric friend of the Archduke and the most interesting character in the film. I understand that Murnau wasn't particularly happy with this film, but I enjoyed it; it's a nice piece of light entertainment.

The only copy of this film that I've seen so far was made from a VHS tape recorded off TV, but the new DVD version of Murnau's "Nosferatu" contains a high-quality clip of part of this film in the "Extras" section. There may be a much better copy of this film in circulation, but I don't know how to obtain it...
