Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for music lovers. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. A good follow-up to Top Hat or An American in Paris.
The mood
Easygoing.
The pace
Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 45 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1935: an older pace and style.

Sándor Barinkay joins the gypsies en route to his home village hiding his real identity as an Hungarian nobleman, whose parents were sent to exile. He claims his former properties, now taken by a pig merchant who plays the fool to the villagers' delight. Yet this man has an interesting daughter, and there's also the beautiful gypsy Saffi to consider. And a family hidden treasure to be found.
