The Wildcat

7.5/ 1019211h 25mNR

ComedyDramaRomance

A charismatic lieutenant newly assigned to a remote fort is captured by a group of mountain bandits, thus setting in motion a madcap farce that is Lubitsch at his most unrestrained. A wonderfully anarchic and playfully subversive satire of military life from one of the great comedy filmmakers.

Directed by Ernst Lubitsch
