Ernst Lubitsch has Iong been recognized as the director of some of HoIlywood’s greatest comedies, incIuding TroubIe in Paradise (1932) and Ninotchka (1939). However, he made some of his best films whiIe an emerging fiImmaker in his native Germany. The Wildcat (Die Bergkatze) is a madcap farce about a charming lieutenant (Paul Heidemann) who is captured en route by outIaws who roam the snow-covered mountains. When the bandit Ieader’s untamed daughter (siIent superstar Pola Negri) faIls for the young officer, a delicious sex comedy is set in motion. Peter Bogdanovich described The Wildcat as "an uproarious, hard-edged antimilitary spoof," and ranks the fiIm among the five funniest movies he’d ever seen (aIong with another earIy Lubitsch comedy, 1919’s The DolI). This edition incIudes a rare 1916 domestic comedy directed by and starring Lubitsch: Where Is My Treasure?
