""Ostensibly, a love triangle between an acrobat, his wife and a trapezist. "Variety" is in reality an exposé of pre-war Germany. Jannings is brilliant as the man whose wife's indiscretions push him to the brink of murder"--Cassette label."
""Boss and his wife Berta-Marie are partners in a new trapeze number. One day, the famous trapeze artist Artinelli takes note of them and engages them for his trapeze show in Berlin. Their 'salto mortale' becomes an immediate sensation. Calculatedly and coldly, Artinelli seduces Berta-Marie and destroys Boss's happiness. "Variete" was a sensation when it appeared, primarily for its beautifully detailed performances and terrific camerawork by Karl Freund. The trapeze sequences will leave you giddy. The montages of variety acts are witty and vibrant. Berlin nightlife in the '20s looks glamorous. This is the American release of the film."--Container."
