The Masked Mannequin
1927. Germany. Directed by Richard Eichberg. Screenplay by Robert Liebmann, based on the operetta by Franz Robert Arnold and Ernst Bach. With Curt Bois, Mona Maris, Dina Gralla, Lydia Potechina. Bois, who is best known in the U.S. as the pickpocket in Casablanca, was a successful comic actor of film, stage, and cabaret in Germany until Hitler took power. His cross-dressing role in this Ruritanian farce is a revelation. Courtesy of Bundesarchiv – Filmarchiv, Berlin. Silent. Approx. 84 min.
