Customer Reviews of Great Waltz
A musical "special" from the Golden Age of Television No, this is not the 1938 MGM musical with Luise Rainer as Poldi Vogelhuber and Fernand Gravey as Johann "Schani" Strauss, Jr. or the 1972 bomb with Horst Bucholz as Strauss. This is a 1955 television production on the life and music of "The Waltz King" featuring opera singers Patrice Munsel as Resi Ebesteder and Jarmila Novotna as Mme. Baranska along with Keith Andes as Strauss. There is also an appearance by vaudeville comedian and movie star Bert Lahr as Hans Ebesteder. This television musical was one of the "Spectaculars" produced by Max Liebman during the Fifties. Munsel and Novotna had starred in a very successful production of Strauss's "Die Fledermaus" at the Metropolitan Opera, and their talents as comic actresses. Like the MGM musical whose name it shares, this version of "The Great Waltz" It is nice to see that some of the great specials from the Golden Age of Television are being preserved on video along with "I Love Lucy," "Gunsmoke" and "Playhouse 90." "The Great Waltz" is more like "Toast of the Town," where Ed Sullivan brought bits of culture into our living rooms along with dancing bears (e.g., this musical includes Mia Slavenska as a ballerina dancing to Strauss's music). This 78-minute video is, of course, in black & white.
