Capriccio (1938) DVD-R
Starring Lilian Harvey, Anton Imkamp, Paul Dahlke, Viktor Staal, Aribert Wascher, Paul Kemp, Kate Kuhl
Directed by Karl Ritter
Print: Black and White
Runtime: 105 min.
Genre: Comedy, Musical
This film is a lost musical parody treasure that could bear to be rediscovered. Operetta meets swing, and the conventions of cross-dressing and sexual gender confusion gets the Comedia della arte treatment. Lilian Harvey plays a young heiress in long-ago France (the costumes are Empire and Regency)named Madelon whose grandfather brings her up as one would a young man, so that she can make it alone and rebuff all who would chase her for fortune.
