Description
A vintage Dutch movie poster of ''The Beggar Student'', a silent German film released in 1927, directed by Jacob Fleck and Luise Fleck. The film is a romantic comedy and is based on the operetta of the same name by Karl Millocker and Friedrich Zell. The story is set in 18th-century Vienna and revolves around a young man named Symon Symonovitch, who is portrayed by Harry Liedtke.
Symon, the titular "beggar student," is a poor but charismatic student who becomes embroiled in a series of comedic and romantic adventures. He is mistaken for a wealthy Polish nobleman and finds himself caught up in a complicated web of love and intrigue. Along the way, Symon falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Laura, who is also pursued by various other suitors.
The film features a mix of humor, romance, and mistaken identity, typical of the operetta genre. The story unfolds through a series of entertaining and melodramatic events as Symon tries to win Laura's heart while navigating the social and romantic complications of his newfound identity.

It is a notable example of early German cinema and showcases the artistic and storytelling capabilities of the era. Like many silent films, it relies on visual storytelling and physical comedy, making it an enjoyable and historically significant piece of cinema history.
