The Doll (Die Puppe) (Silent)

Presaging such playful sex comedies as Lubitsch's TROUBLE IN PARADISE and Design for Living, THE DOLL follows the misadventures of an effete young man who must get married in order to inherit a fortune.

He opts to purchase a remarkably lifelike doll and marry it instead, not realizing that the doll is actually the puppet-maker's flesh-and-blood daughter, in disguise.
