Cheese King Holländer is a German silent film in two acts by Ernst Lubitsch from 1917. It is one of the director's lost films.

content

The burlesque is about a man who calls himself the cheese king Dutch and rises to the cheese emperor during the course of the film .

production

Cheese King Holländer was shot in the Ufa Union studios in Tempelhof near Berlin in 1917 and checked by the censors in April 1917, but was banned from showing for the duration of the First World War . The premiere probably took place in March 1919 at the Berliner Kammerlichtspiele, since a film review appeared in the magazine Der Kinematograph in early April 1919 .

As with many of Lubitsch's films from before 1920 , no surviving film copy is known of cheese king Holländer , who was 646 meters long.

criticism

The cinematographer wrote in 1919 that this was a film that should never have been invented, played or made.
