Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of people who'll be humming afterwards and music lovers. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Same wavelength as Yentl.
- The mood
- Easygoing.
- The pace
- Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 42 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1930: an older pace and style.
Operetta diva Tilla Morland is celebrating her latest stage success with her friends at the Carlton Bar. At everyone’s request, she begins to sing the show’s main hit. While she is singing, a young man ostentatiously leaves the bar. Tilla cannot forget this incident, which she finds outrageous, and to her surprise, she recognizes the very same patron in her newly hired secretary, Ulrich Weidenau.
