The Cabinet of Dr Caligari -- April 15, 2021

 

Motion Picture News, 23-April-1921

In 1919, German director Robert Weine created The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, an expressionist horror film. The movie premiered in Germany in early 1920. 100 years ago this month, it premiered in the United States and caused an uproar. I think I first saw it on KQED-Channel 9, our local PBS station. 

Conrad Veidt played Cesare, the Somnambulist.
