Ernst Lubitsch's Eyes of the Mummy (1918) sounds like a horror film but it's a romantic melodrama although there's an ancient Egyptian tomb and a curse, and strange and inexplicable events. Pola Negri stars. Early Lubitsch is so wild and crazy.

The Spanish Dancer is a 1923 silent romantic melodrama. A beautiful fiery gypsy girl and a dissolute nobleman become embroiled in court intrigues in 17th century Spain. A great love story. See it for Pola Negri at the top of her game.

Sumurun (1920), early Ernst Lubitsch Arabian Nights-style fantasy/adventure/romance with Pola Negri. At times it's tragedy, at other times cheerful bedroom farce, but always driven by sex. Early Lubitsch was astonishingly bold and experimental.

The Wildcat (Die Bergkatze) is a 1921 Ernst Lubitsch silent comedy/romance. It's wild crazy, visually bizarre and flamboyant, and insanely romantic. Wild gal Rischka (Pola Negri), daughter of a bandit chief, falls for a womanising army officer.

"The Silence of the Femmes"

It is often said that the USA is the land of reinvention.

Identity in America has been malleable and saleable for centuries, whether it be fake preachers and prophets, or incoming congressmen claiming to be the progeny of Holocaust survivors.

Yet nowhere allows, indeed encourages, self-reinvention like Hollywood.
