It was produced by Ernst Lubitsch, famous director, and Hans Kraly, famous scenarist. The story concerns the male heir of a noble family, who must marry to perpetuate his line. Hating women, however, he resolves to fool his relatives by wedding a life-size doll. The complications start after the ceremony, when it is dis- covered that the “doll” is a real girl, beautiful and young. “Backstairs” was produced by UFA. written by Carl Mayer of “Last Laugh” fame and has settings and costumes by Paul Leni.
