Lehmanns Brautfahrt is a German silent film comedy from 1916 by Robert Wiene .

action

The high school teacher Friedrich Lehmann is considered a strange, unworldly owl. With his old-fashioned outfit and his somewhat awkward, clumsy manner, he looks like the prime example of a distant professor. All his love is for antiquity, especially ancient Greece. One day he even misses the engagement party with the lovely little rose because he is completely blown away by a Greece scholarship that has been awarded to him. Then he falls into a deep sleep.

In his dream he is on a journey to ancient Hellas, where a series of adventures await him. Back in the very real waking state, he cannot believe that this was all just a dream. The family is very worried and therefore decides to continue Lehmann's dream in their own way and to bring Friedrich and Röschen to the altar in one go. Therefore everyone now dresses like ancient Greeks, and so, after even Roschen has become “Greek”, the two bride and groom finally find each other.

Production notes

Lehmanns Brautfahrt was made in the summer of 1916, in the middle of the First World War , in the Messter-Film-Atelier at Blücherstraße 32. The four-act film was censored in July 1916 and was shown for the first time in November 1916 in the Mozart Hall in Berlin.

As in most early Wiene productions, Ludwig Kainer designed the film sets.

criticism

When Oskar Kalbus states: "In Berlin at that time knew every child comedian Arnold Rieck from the Thalia Theater, of which many couplet has made popular. When Arnold Rieck fell in love with a beautiful Greek woman on a film trip to Hellas as a high school professor with a roasted skirt, top hat, umbrella and the embroidered travel bag from grandfather's time ("Lehmanns Brautfahrt", 1916), the audience couldn't stop laughing.
