The Rosentopf case is a German silent film by Ernst Lubitsch from 1918. It is one of the director's lost films .

content

In the Rosentopf case , Ernst Lubitsch Sally, the "clever assistant to the detective" Ceeps, is only able to come to a solution in the police parce surrounding the Rosentopf case after some effort.

production

The film was shot in the UFA Union film studios, Berlin-Tempelhof . The buildings are by Kurt Richter. The National Film Archive also has drafts by Paul Leni for the film, but his collaboration can not be confirmed due to rediscovered film credits . The same applies to an acting collaboration by Ossi Oswalda , which Hermann G. Weinberg stated in 1977.

The 1,163-meter-long film was examined by the censors in July 1918. The premiere of the film, which was announced in the Lichtbild-Bühne as Der Fall Rosenblum , was on September 20, 1918 in the Friedrichstrasse UT in Berlin .

The Rosentopf case was one of a series of films in which the figure of Sally portrayed by Lubitsch appears. Often, for example, this figure came as a small apprentice from a small town to a large city and subsequently rose socially. Examples are 1916 Schuhpalast Pinkus with Lubitsch as Sally Pinkus and 1917 Der Blousenkönig with Lubitsch as Sally Katz. Further figures with the name Sally , which are represented by Lubitsch, can be found in 1916 in Der GmbH-Tenor (Sally), 1918 in Der Rodelkavalier (Sally Pinner) and Meyer from Berlin (Sally Meyer).
