Description
Sumurun is a rebellious member of a harem who has committed the greatest of sins: she has rejected the old sheik and fallen in love with a charming cloth merchant. A traveling dancer who is drawn to both the harem and the sheik₂s handsome son, and Lubitsch himself appears as a hunchbacked clown in love with the dancer. Sumurun was based on a pantomime that had been a popular success for Lubitsch₂s mentor, theater director Max Reinhardt. The New York Times labeled the film ₃an exceptional production,₄ and film historian Lewis Jacobs wrote that Sumurun "not only revealed Lubitsch as an ingenious director of comedy, but introduced a risqu ̌wit that killed the heavy-handed American sex and style displays.₄ Silent with German intertitles.
