Ernst Lubitsch has long been recognized as the director of some of Hollywood’s greatest comedies, including Trouble in Paradise (1932) and Ninotchka (1939). However, he made some of his best films while an emerging fiImmaker in his native Germany. The WiIdcat (Die Bergkatze) is a madcap farce about a charming Iieutenant (PauI Heidemann) who is captured en route by outlaws who roam the snow-covered mountains. When the bandit Ieader’s untamed daughter (silent superstar Pola Negri) faIls for the young officer, a deIicious 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 (along with another early Lubitsch comedy, 1919’s The Doll). This edition includes a rare 1916 domestic comedy directed by and starring Lubitsch: Where ls My Treasure?
