DOLL / I DON'T WANT TO BE A MAN

SUBTITLED SILENT MOVIE

Looking to dupe the uncle who's pressuring him into marriage, a young man (Hermann Thimig) engages a toymaker (Victor Janson) to build a life-size mechanical woman to wed. Matters get worse when the automaton breaks-and the inventor's daughter (Ossi Oswalda) elects to take it's place, in Ernst Lubitsch's charming fantasy The Doll. Next, the pioneering gender-bender I Don't Want to Be a Man follows a disgruntled teenage tomboy (Oswalda) who poses as a male to get out from under the thumbs of her guardians, only to learn the grass isn't always greener! 113 min. Total. Standard; Soundtrack: music score; audio commentary. Silent with music score.
