About Königin einer Nacht
Duke Ferdinand of Novara-Liechtenstein flees the duchy to avoid an arranged marriage with princess Anna Silvana of Este-Parma. He loses his papers on the flight and is treated as an imposter at the inn where he stays. The princess is hot on his heels, and ends up staying at the same inn under an assumed name. Mayhem ensues.
Directed by Kurt Hoffmann, Königin einer Nacht leans on a strong ensemble — Ilse Werner, Hans Holt, Georg Thomalla — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1951.
