BIOGRAPHY

Ossi Oswalda, dubbed "The German Mary Pickford," was a foundational star of German silent cinema whose early work with director Ernst Lubitsch remains highly sought after by collectors. Her luminous screen presence lit up films like 1917's *The Merry Jail*, 1918's *I Don't Want to Be a Man,* and the fantastical *The Oyster Princess* (1919), establishing her as a versatile talent. These Lubitsch collaborations, especially, are cornerstones of expressionist and pre-code European cinema history, making their restoration and eventual home video releases highly anticipated events for film archivists and collectors alike. Later in her career, after a stint running her own production company and a contract with Ufa, Oswalda starred in the rare 1928 western *Eddy Polo mit Pferd und Lasso*. Though her sound film appearances were limited, this silent era gem showcases a different facet of her career. For enthusiasts of early European cinema, discovering a well-preserved copy of an Ossi Oswalda film offers a direct link to the golden age of silent film, enriching any discerning physical media collection with a true piece of cinematic heritage.
