This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

In German with English subtitles. The title translates to Clothes Make the Man.

The daydreaming tailor Wenzel is fired from his job because the fancy coat he was supposed to make for the mayor, he instead made for himself. He is allowed, however, to take the frock, and soon he finds that people are treating him completely differently...

The Kautner Touch.
Heinz Ruhmann gives a performance reminiscent of silent comedian Harry Langdon in this adaptation of Gottfried Keller's 19th century novella about a tailoe who wishes he were an Aristocrat, and suddenly seems to be getting his wish through mistaken identity. Some shots resemble Wiemar "Expressionism".

kleider Machen Leute
A very entertaining film adaptation from classic German literature. There is great ensemble acting and clever touchs by the director and cinematographer. A lush score accompanies the film. The quality of the print and subtitles is good. I noticed no political messaging.

Helmut Kautner does it again
I'm shying away from all the superfluous comments I could make about Kautner's work. I wish he were better known. This film is a masterpiece and Kautner is simply one of the best directors ever.
