The Wild Cat (1921 film)


The Wild Cat aka The Mountain Cat, German Die Bergkatze , subtitled A Grotesque in Four Acts, is a 1921 German silent, farcical, romantic comedy film directed by Ernst Lubitsch.

The commander of an isolated border fortress receives word that a Lieutenant Alexis has been assigned there as punishment. This delights his wife and daughter. Elsewhere, vast mobs of women line the streets to bid Alexis goodbye as does a horde of young children who call him Daddy.On the sleigh ride to his new posting, Alexis is pelted by a snowball by a young woman. When he gets out of the sleigh, he is surrounded by armed men, part of a gang of feared robbers nominally led by Claudius, but in reality under the bidding of his daughter, Rischka. Rischka forces Alexis to take off his uniform. He nonchalantly kisses her hand anyway. When one of the men draws his dagger, Rischka intervenes and lets Alexis go unharmed, in his underclothes. ........
