Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for anyone looking to switch off and smile and music lovers. Good for nights when you want to switch off and laugh. Liked A Night at the Opera? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Zips along, at 2 hr 18 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1972: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
Witty, fun, intoxicating film of Johann Strauss II's popular operetta, based on a stage production from Vienna State Opera; this is a showcase for the entire cast, but most especially Eberhard Wächter as the insufferably boorish Gabriel Eisenstein, and Gundula Janowitz as his long-suffering wife. Open the champagne, have yourself some torte, and enjoy this delectable comedy from Vienna.
