Traveling Salesman Virgil Smith wants to sell his Grammophones in pre-WWI Austria. To enhance this, he especially wants to sell one to Emperor Franz Joseph, but at first the Austrian palace guards think he is carrying a bomb. He meets the Countess Johanna von Stolzenberg-Stolzenberg and after the usual misunderstandings, falls in love with her, this is especially assisted by his dog Buttons. But the relation between a Countess and an ordinary U.S. citizen cannot work in Austria, that is the Emperor's opinion. Is he wrong ?
Leave your thoughts about The Emperor Waltz.
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyNot one of Billy Wilder's strong films, this bizarre period musical teams the director with crooner Bing Crosby, who's pleasant enough and some of the tunes are medlodic. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumDefinitely colorful, but otherwise mediocre Bing Crosby musical with few memorable tunes. |
| New York TimesBosley CrowtherBrackett and Wilder have made up with casualness and charm -- and with a great deal of clever sight-humor -- for the meagerness of the idea. |
| User ReviewAce DrummondI LOVE this movie. classic story of a guy falling for a girl that's out of his league.. |
| User ReviewAshley HThe Emperor Waltz is an underrated jewel of a film. It is about an American gramophone who tries to get Emperor Franz Joseph's endorsement in turn of the century Austria. The music is great and fits well in the film. Bing Crosby and Joan Fontaine give excellent performances. The script is well written. Billy Wilder did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed this motion picture because of the romance. The Emperor Waltz is a must see. |
| User ReviewGregory WDelightful but typical Bing Crosby formula film. Billy Wilder's indulgence in Tyrolean kitsch is syrupy sweet but Bing excels as the egalitarian common man, confirming his unacknowledged status as movie's first anti-hero whilst Joan convincingly modulates from aloof to alluring. |
| User ReviewKevin M. WA work so slight so as to nearly anger one with the gall of it's presumptions and yet the charisma of its main participants do manage to engage and, indeed, to charm. Crosby is a Yank abroad who runs into a bankrupt royale and sparks fly despite position. Joan Fontaine is especially surprising, even though you'll wonder if the featured animals aren't doing the main heavy lifting. |
| User ReviewGiselle 'Wednesday' CLots of fun and very sweet ... likeably likeable ! |
| User ReviewRick QA brash American gramophone salesman tries to get Emperor Franz Joseph's endorsement in turn-of-the-century Austria. |
