Family Gathering in the House of Prellstein(1927)

movie - first aired/released 1927-12-16 - audience 7.5

Directed by Hans Steinhoff

A feature-length jewish joke: The heavily indebted Sami Bambus fakes his death, so that his debts are taken over by the greedy heirs, led by the scrounger Prellstein. The putative heir also brings speculators to the scene, and the general confusion can ultimately only be reconciled by the summoned uncle Salomon and by Samis' return from the dead.
