The Doll

In this 1919 German romantic fantasy comedy film, Ernst Lubitsch crafts a tale of love and deception that will leave you smiling. A young man, desperate to inherit a fortune, purchases an uncannily lifelike doll and marries it instead of finding a human bride. But what ensues is a wild ride full of mistaken identities, misunderstandings, and unrequited love, all set against the backdrop of a lavish wedding and a dashing escape from an abbey. Will our hapless hero ever find true love with his new "wife," or will she prove to be more than just a clever illusion?
