Playing with Fire (German: Das Spiel mit dem Feuer) is a 1921 German silent comedy-drama film directed by Georg Kroll and Robert Wiene and starring Diana Karenne, Vasilij Vronski, Ossip Runitsch, and Anton Edthofer. A method actress likes living out the roles she is playing in real life. To prepare for her new play, she enters the criminal underworld and ends up being implicated in a burglary of a Duke who is one of her suitors.[1] The film received a generally positive reception from critics, although some were doubtful about the blending of farce and tragedy.[2]

gollark: There have been calls to scrap the TV license and just fund it through taxes. Which would be basically the same functionally.
gollark: No, I mean the "we do worse things so you can't criticise this somewhat bad thing" thing does not make sense. Unless you want to justify this "PBS" on its own merits, in which case do so, or actually don't as I don't really care.
gollark: That's a very stupid argument, but I'm not sure what to call it.
gollark: You can just not do either.
