Storyline

Toni Hofer and brothers Vicki and Nicki Mahler are working on a new operetta. Toni's reputation with women equals his fame as composer, so they keep their sister Hedi away from him. Wanting to know him, she calls at his house in the middle of the night not revealing her identity, helps him write the main waltz theme and disappears, leaving him incapable of remembering his greatest melody. Music by Robert Stolz.

User Reviews

There should be a video

I saw this movie freguently when it was first released, both as an opportunity to practise my German and as an opportunity to hear the beautiful music. It should be noted that the banquet scene contains one of the most glaring failures of continuity ever in a movie. I do hope that a negative still exists and that someone will make a video of it
