In Meine Tante - deine Tante/My Aunt, Your Aunt(Carl Froehlich, 1927) Henny Porten plays Helene, the wife of Edgar von Bocksdorff (Angelo Ferrari), whose uncle Bodo (Ralph Arthur Roberts) hates women. Bodo loves the muse of the music though, so when his first violin player becomes engaged to a woman, he engages his nephew, who performs in vaudeville houses.
Edgar goes to his uncle's castle, pretending he is unmarried, but his wife smuggles herself into the castle in men's clothes. She first pretends to become betrothed to the old man, but by forcing him to desperation, he accepts she marries his nephew instead.
Sturdy and blond Henny Porten (1890-1960) was one of Germany's most important and popular film actresses of the silent cinema. She became the quintessence of German womanhood, ladylike yet kindhearted and a not a little petit bourgeois. She was also the producer of many of her own films.
Italian actor Angelo Ferrari (1897-1954) appeared in nearly 200 films. He started his career in Italian silent films and later got a strong foothold in the German cinema.
