Wiki.
... nur ein Komödiant (also König der Maske; in English, ... just a Comedian, or King of the Mask) is an Austrian film of 1935. The director was Erich Engel. Temporarily in Vienna as a political emigrant from , he wanted the film to make a statement against fascism and authoritarian government. Even so, the film ed the strict censors not only of the Third Reich but also of Austria, presumably because all political references were veiled by their setting in a royal court of the 18th century.
The premiere took place on 20 September 1935 in the Ufa-Palast in Hamburg. The film went on general release in on 9 October 1935, opening in the Capitol in Berlin, and in Austria on 10 January 1936, opening in Vienna.
