Which 1929 film starring Louise Brooks was adapted from two plays by Frank Wedekind?

Pandora’s Box is the 1929 film starring Louise Brooks that was adapted from two plays by Frank Wedekind. G. W. Pabst directed the German silent production, with Brooks playing Lulu.

The source texts are Wedekind’s Earth Spirit and Pandora’s Box, dramas centered on Lulu and the social and personal consequences of her relationships. Pabst’s film combines elements from both works into a cinematic narrative, rather than presenting either play as a literal stage recording.

The title can invite a mistaken answer based on Greek mythology. The film’s relationship to Pandora is literary and symbolic: its Lulu is connected to Wedekind’s theatrical “Pandora” material, while Hesiod’s Pandora belongs to a much older Greek myth about a jar and the release of troubles.
