We were tickled by this line from a film synopsis:

"The 1994 restoration [of Die Finanzen des Großherzogs] confirms that this is indeed a farce by FW Murnau." 

We've always thought that one should never judge a film's genre without having seen the original negative.  The Murnau bombshell almost beats that time they restored the Sistine Chapel and confirmed that it was all an elaborate self-portrait of Michelangelo.

SPOILER ALERT: STOP READING IF YOU ARE STILL GUESSING....I remember a movie by this name as being a very sick vampire flick. But I saw it when I was a kid. I remember the vampires had labs where they were "milking" the humans for blood in a very dispassionate manner. I imagine it was a B minus movie at best judging by my rear-view critical kid mind.
