Synopsis
In one of the most eclectic
films of the German silent era, visual stylist F.W. Murnau (Faust,
Sunrise) broke away from the dark, foreboding dramas for which he was
known to explore the realm of light comedy. Working from a
screenplay by Thea von Harbou (Spies, Metropolis), Murnau crafted a
playful espionage thriller reminiscent of Ernst Lubitsch (who had
recently left Germany for Hollywood).
Harry Liedtke stars as a
“benevolent dictator” who must preserve the tiny
nation of Abacco by fending off creditors, wooing a wealthy Russian
princess (Mady Christians), and evading a band of demonic conspirators
(including Nosferatu himself, Max Schreck).
