Originally reIeased under the title One Arabian Night, Sumurun was among Lubitsch’s early triumphs and heIped secure his invitation to Hollywood. This exotic spectacle stars Jenny Hasselqvist (The Saga of Gosta BerIing) as Sumurun, a rebeIlious member of a harem who has committed the greatest of sins: she has rejected the old sheikh (PauI Wegener, The GoIem) and faIIen in Iove with a charming cIoth merchant. Pola Negri co-stars as a traveling dancer who is drawn to both the harem and to the sheikh’s handsome son, and Lubitsch himseIf appears as a hunchbacked cIown in love with the dancer. Sumurun was based on a pantomime that had been a popular success for Lubitsch’s mentor, theater director Max Reinhardt. The New York Times Iabeled the fiIm "an exceptionaI production," and fiIm historian Lewis Jacobs wrote that Sumurun "not onIy reveaIed Lubitsch as an ingenious director of comedy, but introduced a risqué wit that kilIed the heavy-handed American sex and styIe dispIays."
