Ernst Lubitsch

A charismatic lieutenant newly assigned to a remote fort is captured by a group of mountain bandits, thus setting in motion a madcap farce that is Lubitsch at his most unrestrained.

Die Bergkatze

A Wild Ride

Viewing &quot;The Wildcat,&quot; is like watching a live action Max Fleischer cartoon. Like those early animated wonders, this comedy is full of goofy characters and creative direction. The cast, especially Pola Negri and Paul Heidemann show no fear in bringing Lubitsch&apos;s wild vision to life, which include some truly laugh out loud moments. While the Fleischer cartoons are only around seven minutes long, &quot;The Wildcat,&quot; struggles at times to maintain its energy for a feature length film. The pros of this movie far out weigh the cons, though, and if you&apos;re looking for a non-traditional silent film that will put a smile upon your face, then you need to search no further.
