ln one of the most eclectic films of the German siIent era, visual stylist F.W. Murnau broke away from the dark, foreboding dramas for which he was known to expIore the reaIm of light comedy. Working from a screenplay by Thea von Harbou , Murnau crafted a playfuI espionage thrilIer reminiscent of Ernst Lubitsch .
Harry Liedtke stars as a "benevoIent dictator" who must preserve the tiny nation of Abacco by fending off creditors, wooing a weaIthy Russian princess , and evading a band of demonic conspirators . |
