Napoleon Ist An Allem Schuld - 1938 - 6/10

A history buff, Napoleon Bonaparte fanatic, envisions himself as emperor reincarnate.
Consequently, he is invited to be one of the speakers at a Bonaparte convention in Paris.
Where he gets entangled with a chorus girl.
And compounds matters by telling camera snapping reporters she is his daughter.

For a Reichsfilme, this is rapid fire comedy, packed with innuendo, bordering on farce.
There are also several major musical numbers, one featuring showgirls in Napoleon headgear.
Always amusing, though not laugh out loud funny, since I was keeping up with subs.
