Synopsis:
Dazzling? Daring? The Great Waltz may have you searching for ways to describe its unique charms. This cinematic rhapsody loosely based on the life of composer Johann Strauss is truly "an overlooked gem" (The Motion Picture Guide). To capture what the film calls "the spirit" of Strauss' music, The Great Waltz combines exquisite craftsmanship with spirited inventiveness. The splendid M-G-M backlot re-creations of Viennese settings range from convivial biergartens to ornate palaces. Dimitri Tiomkin's arrangements of Strauss incomparable melodies (with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein Il) swirl and dive. And Joseph Ruttenberg's Oscar*-winning cinematography glides with bravura artistry. Julien Duvivier directs radiant performances from two-time Oscar®-winner Luise Rainer (The Great Ziegfeld, The Good Earth), Fernand Gravet and Oscar®-nominated diva Miliza Korjus. Wonderful?
