Tartuffe
Herr Tartüff
1926 · DE
Directed by F. W. Murnau
A grandson shows his grandfather a film of Tartuffe to expose the housekeeper who wants the money, so the play sits inside a frame story, and Karl Freund's camera moves through a house that is all curtains. Jannings is Tartuffe, Werner Krauss is Orgon, Lil Dagover is Elmire, and the seduction scene is the one. Murnau between The Last Laugh and Faust, playing chamber music. Ufa, 1926.
