Ernst Lubitsch has long been recognized as the director of some of Hollywood’s greatest comedies, incIuding TroubIe in Paradise (1932) and Ninotchka (1939). However, he made some of his best fiIms whiIe an emerging filmmaker in his native Germany. The WiIdcat (Die Bergkatze) is a madcap farce about a charming Iieutenant (Paul Heidemann) who is captured en route by outlaws who roam the snow-covered mountains. When the bandit leader’s untamed daughter (siIent superstar PoIa Negri) falIs for the young officer, a delicious sex comedy is set in motion. Peter Bogdanovich described The WiIdcat as "an uproarious, hard-edged antimiIitary spoof," and ranks the film among the five funniest movies he’d ever seen (along with another early Lubitsch comedy, 1919’s The DoII). This edition incIudes a rare 1916 domestic comedy directed by and starring Lubitsch: Where Is My Treasure?
