Review of Tartuffe (1926) by Brandon S — 06 Nov 2010
F.W. Murnau's fable in how you are not suppose to trust everyone that you come across, that works great with the clash of two of the best silent German actors Emil Jannings and Werner Krauss. An old man's housekeeper trys hard to get her old master to write out the letter that will leave her with everything in this will.
This is when the old man's grandson shows up and witnesses the housekeeper poisoning the old man. The grandson is kicked out only to return with a play and in costume to show the old man the errors of his decisions in trusting people.
Not the best film from Murnau that does have a great cast that raises it to classic statis.
