This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.In German with English subtitles.Vienna 1905: After a carnival party the famous painter Heidenick draws his otherwise engaged girlfriend Anita Helfer with very few clothes on, only blurs her face. The image makes it into the newspaper the next day - but since he can't tell the model's name without offending her influential fiancée, he comes up with the fictional name Leopoldine Dur. Unfortunately there is a secretary with that name, who now gets into the focus of high society - and into Heidenick's, much to Anita's anger.

Maskerade
This was a blind buy. I was curious to see Anton Walbrook – a favorite – in his pre-British career. Here he plays a turn-of-the-century Austrian bon vivant with utter wit and charm. The other actors – all new to me – inhabit their roles beautifully. It mostly plays out in public social occasions: balls, music hall cafes, opera houses. The movie isn't total fluff – it's chocolate bon-bon

Lubitsch done better than Lubitsch
This is a masterpiece. A gem in every way. Very reminiscent to Ernst Lubitsch, in style and substance. But it's no rip-off. If this were a Lubitsch film, it would be his best mmovie, and I'm a big Lubitsch fan. Director Willi Forst was very creative. I look forward to re-watching this often. Great buy, great find, great print, great film. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.
