Directed by Ernst Lubitsch
Germany, 1916
Comedy, Short

Synopsis

In the brisk 40+ minutes of the film, we follow the cometic career of the Lubitsch persona (Pinkus), from his foibles as an unmotivated and unruly school student, through his unpromising job hunt, his first short-lived position as a shoe clerk, and his subsequent success within the shoe business.
