Description
In this film, F. W. Murnau revisits Moliere's fable of religious hypocrisy, in which a faithful wife tries to convince her husband that their morally superior guest, the title character, is in fact a lecherous hypocrite with a taste for the grape. To endow the story with contemporary relevance, Murnau frames Moliere's tale with a modern-day plot concerning a housekeeper's stealthy efforts to poison her elderly master and take control of his estate.
