This copy is excellent - clear, clean, great sound,
readable sub-titles. Better than what I expected.

4 of 5 The Kautner Touch. May 8, 2020
Reviewer: Steven Burstein from Somervile, MA United States  
Heinz Ruhmann gives a performance reminiscent of silent comedian Harry Langdon in this adaptation of Gottfried Keller's 19th century novella about a tailoe who wishes he were an Aristocrat, and suddenly seems to be getting his wish through mistaken identity. Some shots resemble Wiemar "Expressionism".

4 of 5 kleider Machen Leute September 1, 2019
Reviewer: George Gute from Troy, OH United States  
A very entertaining film adaptation from classic German literature.  There is great ensemble acting and clever touchs by the director and cinematographer.  A lush score accompanies the film.  The quality of the print and subtitles is good. I noticed no political messaging.

5 of 5 Helmut Kautner does it again December 13, 2014
Reviewer: F. Hounder Clay from Reynoldsburg, OH United States  
I'm shying away from all the superfluous comments I could make about Kautner's work. I wish he were better known. This film is a masterpiece and Kautner is simply one of the best directors ever.
