Name: Der neue Schreibtisch
Genre: Short
Duration: 8 min
Rating: 6
Cast: Karl Valentin

This short comedy is certainly the quintessential Valentin film and it defies any conventional judgment of film. It is no more than the registration of a Valentin sketch and no more is needed. It shows the brilliant timing Valentin had for comedy and the recurring theme in his comedy: an ever ongoing struggle with objects that do not abide the wishes of Valentin.

I have seen this one a couple of times and it never fails to get me roaring with laughter and to split my sides. Where have these kind of comedians gone?
