Charles Puffy & Marlene Dietrich

Postby Ed Watz » Sun Jun 29, 2025 3:46 am

I KISS YOUR HAND, MADAME (1928) German production filmed in Berlin (standing in for Paris).

Charles Puffy (under his Czech screen name Karl Huszar) provides comedy relief as a would-be sugar daddy to up and coming Marlene Dietrich (who claimed years later that she never appeared in silent films). Puffy’s big comedy scene comes at 19:10 and is well worth watching.
