Oyster Princess / Meyer from Berlin

The "Lubitsch Touch" is evident in these witty comedies from Ernst Lubitsch. First, "The Oyster Princess" details the plight of Ossi (Ossi Oswalda), the American daughter of an oyster magnate who promises to find her a prince to wed. A marriage broker suggests Prince Nucki (Harry Liedtke), who lives in a run-down apartment with a pal. Next, Lubitsch himself takes the title role of "Meyer from Berlin," a faithless husband who feigns sick to get a restorative Tyrolean vacation-and the chance to chase other women. Oswalda, Ethel Orff also star. 108 min. Total. Standard; Soundtrack: Music score; audio commentary. Silent with music score.
