About Hokuspokus
Kitty Kellermann is set to appear in court on suspicion of murder. She is accused of killing her husband. Strangely enough, Peter Bille, who suddenly shows up, confesses to the crime of his own accord, but manages to escape shortly afterward. An adaptation of the play Hokuspokus by Curt Goetz.
Directed by Gustav Ucicky, Hokuspokus leans on a strong ensemble — Lilian Harvey, Willy Fritsch, Oskar Homolka — 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 comedy titles of 1930.
