Church of Film: I BY DAY, YOU BY NIGHT
- 8:00pm Wednesday, January 20, 2016
Hans, a relief waiter in an upscale Berlin night club, rents a room by night. Grete, a manicurist, rents the same room by day. Though they have never met in person, the two have forged a lasting enmity toward each other. They also unwittingly strike up a romance without realizing that they share a room.
I BY DAY, YOU BY NIGHT is one of the Weimar era's most artfully crafted musical comedies, winking and taunting the conservative order about to sweep over Germany. Its also a salty satire on the unrealistic and frothy musical genre in the wake of the hardships of the working class in the 30s. Starring Willy Fritsch.
