Mysteries of a Barbershop
''Mysteries of a Barbershop'' ((ドイツ語:Mysterien eines Frisiersalons)) is a comic, slapstick German film of 33 minutes, created by Bertolt Brecht, directed by Erich Engel, and starring the Munich cabaret clown Karl Valentin and leading stage actor Erwin Faber. Brecht reportedly did not write a complete shooting script, but rather produced "notes" and "parts of a manuscript" (according to Faber) for this short, silent film and intended the actors to improvise the action.〔See "A Brecht-Valentin Production: ''Mysteries of a Barbershop''", by W. Stuart McDowell, ''Performing Arts Journal'', Vol. 1, No. 3 (Winter, 1977), p 4.〕 Although the film was not considered a success by any of its creative team, and consequently never released as a profit making film to the public, it has been recognized and acknowledged—since its re-discovery in a Moscow archive in the 1970s—as one of the 100 most important German films of all time.〔"A Brecht-Valentin Production: ''Mysteries of a Barbershop''", W. Stuart McDowell, ''Performing Arts Journal'', Vol. 1, No. 3 (Winter, 1977), pp. 5.〕
== "A Little Joke" by Bertolt Brecht ==
In an interview with Erwin Faber, who played Dr. Moras—the "romantic star" of the film—it was clear that ''Mysteries of a Barbershop'' was intended by Brecht in this, his first attempt at filmmaking, to be nothing more than "just a little joke."〔"Acting Brecht: The Munich Years," by W. Stuart McDowell, in ''The Brecht Sourcebook'', Carol Martin, Henry Bial, editors (Routledge, 2000) p. 71 - 83.〕
''Mysteries of a Barbershop'' was created during a month-long pause before the beginning of rehearsals for Bertolt Brecht's early drama, ''In the Jungle of Cities'' at the Munich National Theatre, in February 1923. Brecht and Erich Engel (the director of ''In the Jungle''), assembled a cast that included Karl Valentin, Liesl Karlstadt (Valentin's cabaret partner), Erwin Faber (the leading actor in Munich at the time and star of Brecht's three staged plays in Munich - ''Drums in the Night'', ''In the Jungle of Cities'', and the forthcoming ''Edward II''), Max Schreck (soon to be a leading film actor in such films as ''Nosferatu''), comic actor Josef Eichheim, character actor Kurt Horwitz, Carola Neher (later to play the lead in Brecht's ''Happy End'' and the role of Polly in the film of ''Threepenny Opera'') and the cabaretist (and wife of song writer, Friedrich Hollaender), Blandine Ebinger. The group improvised a series of comic and mock-romantic scenes, which, according to one critic, "contains enough cruelty jokes to have made WC Fields envious."〔''Acting in the Cinema'', James Naremore. (Performing Arts, 1988), 115.〕
