The Wildcat
Directed by Ernst Lubitsch
Produced by Projektions-AG Union
A frenetic, anarchic silent comedy that uses absurdist humor and expressionist visual style to satirize military authority and social convention.
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. A wonderfully anarchic and playfully subversive satire of military life from one of the great comedy filmmakers.
