Johann Strauss's

"The Great Waltz"

Oscar Academy Award for Best Cinematography & other 2 Nominations

Starring: Fernand Gravet, Luise Rainer, Miliza Korjus

Johann Strauss II was a gifted amateur composer who worked in a bank. Johann found that he was often distracted by the melodies in his head and would end up writing waltz instead of computing figures on company time. After he got fired, he decided to become a professional composer. Johann and a group of amateur musicians put together a small orchestra and had their début performance in a casino. It was a huge success, both inside and outside of the casino were filled with people dancing to his waltz. One of those people was Carla Donner - the star of the Imperial Opera.

Carla liked Johann's music and invited him to play in her lover Count Hohenfried's party. Defying social protocols and tradition, Carla sang to Johann's waltz as a common dance hall singer, and Johann became the most sought-after composer. Having negotiated an unprecedented profitable contract with music publisher Hofbauer, Johann married fiancée Poldi and the couple settled down in a big house. To show his support of the democratic revolution, Johann wrote a march and led the demonstration. Along the way the crowds saw Carla's carriage parked outside the Count's mansion and was about to attack her - the symbol of the corrupted upper-class. Johann came to Carla's rescue and proclaimed her a fellow artist; thus, the Lady Liberty of their demonstration. This saved Carla for the time being, but their luck turned when the military police arrived to break up the demonstration, Johann and Carla were arrested.....
