The Castle in the South (Das Schloß im Süden) 90 years old

Another fine film from the master of stylish early German comedies, Geza von Bolvary. This may not be among Bolvary's major works, but the story of a prince (Victor de Kowa) who substitutes for an actor playing a prince in a film without anyone knowing that he's a prince, which in the following leads to a plot in which the prince pretends to be a prince until someone reveals that he isn't a prince even though he is a prince… ahm… I know it's confusing… well, this story is entertaining indeed, and of course leads to some amorous troubles.
