Summary:

"This book looks closely at Ernst Lubitsch's The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg, a film undervalued by film scholars and critics. It advocates for the elevation of the film within the canon of Lubitsch's films, as well as an appreciation of the classical style it represents, characterized by aesthetics, meticulous structure, and understatement"-- Provided by publisher.
