Hocuspocus
Hocuspocus is a 1930 German comedy film parallel version directed by Gustav Ucicky, starring Anglo-German Lilian Harvey, Willy Fritsch, and Oskar Homolka. It was the first adaptation of the 1926 play Hokuspokus by Curt Goetz, but used different role names.
Plot
After mediocre painter Paul Kellermann has disappeared, interest in his paintings rises, until his soft-spoken widow Kitty Kellermann is accused of having murdered her husband by drowning him in a lake, with the body never found. The court case draws public attention, and with the defendant entangling herself in contradictions, her lawyer steps down.
