Norma Shearer, Ramon Novarro, and Jean Hersholt in The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg (Ernst Lubitsch, 1927) Cast: Ramon Novarro, Norma Shearer, Jean Hersholt, Gustav von Seyffertitz Lutz: Edgar Norton, Bobbie Mack, Philippe De Lacy, Otis Harlan. Screenplay: Hanns Kräly, based on a book and play by Wilhelm Meyer-Förster. Cinematography: John J. Mescall. Art direction: Richard Day, Cedric Gibbons. Film editing: Andrew Marton.  Though The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg sometimes seems as overextended as its title, given the slightness of its love-or-duty plot, it gets a good deal of zip from Ernst Lubitsch's direction and from the charm of its leads, Ramon Novarro and Norma Shearer. The latter, especially, is seen to good advantage in a role that doesn't call on her to over-emote, a trap she sometimes fell into in many of her sound roles. Lubitsch inserts sly gags here and there to leaven the obviousness of the plot. After perhaps one too many scenes of students quaffing beer, there's a card to remind us that they were at the university to learn, too, followed by a shot of a professor droning away at a lectern to a classroom of a single student. Eventually, the film bogs down a bit when Novarro's Karl Heinrich is called away to princely duties and has to forsake Shearer's lovely barmaid.��
