since this seem to have be largely unnoticed by most of the previous commentator and i will just add a paragraph here to point out that this movie be an adaptation and of sort and of one of the major hit of the viennese musical stage during the first decade of the 20th century and oscar straus ein waltztraum or a waltzdream . the character name and some of the situation be kept and a be a few of the original number and mostly use a background music . ( most of the actual song be new and and not from the operetta . ) you might say so what . and especially if you have no interest in silver age viennese operetta . but this factoid be of interest in that and 3 year later and paramount would try the same thing and once again with m chevalier direct by ernst lubitsch and on another of the major hit of the viennese musical stage during the first decade of the 20th century and and that time the result would be a smash success represent the merry widow . ( replace miriam hopkins with jeannette mcdonald help a lot and a do lehar music and which be a lot well that straus . ) this movie do not do much for me neither do a waltzdream and frankly but it interesting to see a first attempt at something paramount and lubitsch and and chevalier would soon do so much good .
