Movie Reviews

New York Times - 8/10 by Andre SennwaldIt exhibits little of the technical ingenuity which the Hitchcock name might lead us to expect. But it does not diminish the loveliness of "The Blue Danube" and it suspires amiably against its nineteenth century appointments.
User Review - 8/10 by Ken SComing on the verge of his late British run of masterworks, this light musical comedy has always been overshadowed, and Hitch didn't think much of it either, but watch it for entertainment (and the director's increasing visual sophistication), and it's quite good.
User Review - 6/10 by Matthew DComme le disait Hitchcock himself, Waltzes from Vienna n'est pas son meilleur film, loin de là. Il en reste cependant que son biopic des deux Johann Strauss est un musical plutôt habile, dans la mesure où la musique (Le Beau Danube Bleu répété à outrance) ne prend jamais le pas sur une narration extrêmement simple mais plutôt satisfaisante et où les acteurs semblent à l'aise avec ce genre de film. Les acteurs sont plutôt bons, Hitchcock livre deux ou trois séquences musicales visuellement splendides pour l'époque plutôt bien disposées dans un film relativement court, évitant donc la redondance et l'ennui.
User Review - 6/10 by Dawson A11/6/2010 We snuck out of Stacey's 70's party early to start our Hitchcock series. This is the oldest of his movies we had on the box, so settled in with some scrabble and giant pretzels and juice. It was a silly little romp. Touching when grump signs his name as 'senior'. And we learn what rhymes with "orange".
User Review - 6/10 by Kevin M. WA Brit musical. By Alfred Hitchcock, no less? Yes, a leap, I know, but the story about how a younger Strauss was inhibited by the elder does have its merits, the main of which is the triumphant reveal of the Blue Danube to its Austrian audience for the first time. There are no surprises, true, but Hitchcock manages to keep the fluff to a minimum, given the genre.
User Review - 4/10 by Joel HHitchcock was still discovering his strengths at this point in his career, but musical comedy is not his forte. Strauss' Great Waltz meanders through a story about the inspiration behind The Blue Danube. And while I love the song, I found it very difficult to pay attention to this film. It's mostly fluff.
User Review - 2/10 by Matt CHitchcock described this film as the 'lowest ebb of his career'...you can see why. This whole period of his British films is so poor really, only one or two of them really still stand up to scrutiny and those are the ones where he seemed to have more creative control. This feels a million miles away from anything he would go on to do.
