What happens

The Marriage of Figaro (German: Figaros Hochzeit) is a 1920 German silent comedy film directed by Max Mack and starring Alexander Moissi, Hella Moja and Eduard von Winterstein. The film was most likely accompanied by Mozart's music when it was projected. The film is based on the 1784 play of the same name by Beaumarchais (but also on parts of the plot of the Barbier de Séville). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
