Film within a film – the story of a sound film within a sound film operetta: during filming, the exalted leading actress is replaced by the singing postal clerk of a Bavarian winter sports resort … “A film the likes of which have rarely been seen more fluid, more stimulating, more exhilarating.” (Lichtbild-Bühne, 23.2.1932) – Premiere of the version restored by the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Foundation.
