A Japanese doctor, on a secret mission to Paris for his country, becomes romantically involved with a cabaret singer at a Parisian nightclub. His entire mission is put at risk when he kills a rival for her love, a French journalist and blackmailer. (This film was a heavily re-shot 76 minute version of the 1933 film Typhoon but with a dramatically altered plot from the original where the Japanese are now portrayed as unsympathetic villains. The new version was approved by German censors and released in 1934 although its critical reception was poor. It is possible that Wiene, who had left for Budapest in 1933 following the Nazi rise to power, did not personally work on the new version). From Wikipedia.
Movie7.0ComedyRobert is almost the epitome of a head waiter: Politely and courteously, he informs guests about the goings on in the stock market as well as what’s going on in politics, the world of culture, and the economy. Now, Robert is in love with Lilo, the daughter of Hillmer, who owns a fashion salon, and wants to marry her. Lilo is all bananas for the idea. She doesn’t know what Robert does for a living; only that he does business with her father. The bananas turn sour, however, when she finds out he’s “just” a head waiter! She’ll never marry him; and like the cowardly superficial trash that she is, she asks her father to break the news to Robert.
