With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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
- If you count yourself among anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and anyone in the mood for a love story, this one's for you. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Sits nicely alongside A Hard Day's Night or Victor/Victoria.
- The mood
- Light and funny, romantic.
- The pace
- Breezy, at 1 hr 33 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1941: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.
A seductive dancer (Marika Rökk) helps her uncle to fight against the closing of his casino. Through her feminine charm she achieves diplomatic success.
