Amphitryon: Happiness from the Clouds (1935)
Directed by Reinhold Schünzel
Overview
Lamenting Thebian women are waiting for the men to come back from war. God Jupiter is attracted to one of them: Alkmene. He goes to earth and tries to seduce her as himself: an old man. Failing in this, he disguises himself as Amphitryon (Alkemene’s husband) and tries again. Next morning Amphitryon and his men come back from war; he suspects adultery and wants a divorce. Jupiter’s wife Juno now also comes to earth and clears things up.
