Why, God, Why?, 26 October 2003
Author: Mateus Nagime from Rio de Janeiro, Brasil

Ok, we all have to deal with the fact that it has a hundreds of lost films... but why among so many bad movies, a Jannings-LUBITSCH movie is in this category? I really hope and pray that this movie will be founded... I mean, this is probably among all the lost movies the most wished...
