With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for people who'll be humming afterwards and romantics. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Liked Barefoot in the Park or Gentlemen Prefer Blondes? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Light and funny, romantic.
- The pace
- Zips along, at 1 hr 35 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1942: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
Caught at the window just before an air-raid warning (WWII) composer Paul tells how he met his wive Anni, a revue star and song writer, how he handled the courtship and the early years of his marriage, inspite of some professional conflicts - his operas were flops, while his wive had one success after the other - they finally found out how they could help each other.
