The Oyster Princess is a 1919 German silent comedy film directed by Ernst Lubitsch and starring Victor Janson, Ossi Oswalda and Harry Liedtke. It is a grotesque comedy in four acts about an American millionaire's spoiled daughter's marriage that does not go as planned.
Plot
The film commences within the opulent mansion of Mr. Quaker, known as the American "Oyster King," where he resides alongside his unmarried daughter, Ossi, and a substantial retinue of butlers. Upon learning of a rival debutante's recent royal nuptials, Ossi becomes incensed and throws a fit. Sharing her competitive spirit, Mr. Quaker assures his daughter that he will endeavor to find a suitable royal spouse for her.
