This turns out to be exactly how you would imagine an endearing, funny (Weimar) comedy with a love-struck Felix Bressart in the leading role! To me a little gem I'd love to watch over and over again 💗

Die chinesische Nachtigall 1929
"Oh, Nachtigall, wie flötest du so süß im Bambushain des kaiserlichen Gartens. Hold ist die Nacht. Der Mond steht voll am Himmel und spiegelt sich im Fluss."
The Chinese Nightingale is quite loosely and humorously based on the fairy tale by H. C. Andersen. It's the first animated advertising sound film from 1928 by none other than Julius Pinschewer and certainly (one of) the best imaginable commercial(s) for the emerging sound film... 😃

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari 1920
4th viewing – my quintessential quote for now:
"Ich will nicht ruhen, bis ich die furchtbaren Dinge, die ringsum geschehen, begreife–."
// "I won't rest until I get to the bottom of these dreadful deeds"
