German director Josef Von Baky helms this 1943 take on the famous adventures (based on a real-life historical figure) of the free-spirited Baron Münchhausen. Special effects enhance Münchhausen's (Hans Albers) dizzying, fantastical journey as he encounters a devious, magical count; visits Catherine the Great, one of his many lovers; meets a fleet-footed runner; rides a cannonball; travels in a hot air balloon; journeys to the moon; and much more.
