The Marriage of Figaro (German: Figaros Hochzeit) is a 1920 German silent comedy film directed by Max Mack[1] and starring Alexander Moissi, Hella Moja and Eduard von Winterstein.[2] The film was most likely accompanied by Mozart's music when it was projected.[3]
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).[4]
