Meyer aus Berlin

To us nowadays, Ernst Lubitsch is known as the director of 1930s and 1940s romcoms incorporating what became known as the Lubitsch touch (wherein humor resulted from ambiguity, possibly implying some innuendo). Most people nowadays might not know that Lubitsch started out as an actor in some German movies. He played Sally Meyer, a character that was basically a Jewish stereotype, so the movies usually aren't the most accessible. One of the entries that he also directed is "Meyer aus Berlin" ("Meyer from Berlin" in English), long thought lost until a copy got found in the Netherlands.

Lubitsch stars as the scheming Meyer, who wants to get away from his wife, so he feigns an illness. The only thing is, he ends up going on an unexpected adventure! I guess that the Jewish stereotype makes it hard to actually enjoy the movie, but in general it is pretty funny. It's available on Wikipedia.
