Waltzes from Vienna
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Produced by Gaumont-British Picture Corporation
A charming period romance about a young composer's struggle between duty and artistic passion, set against the elegant backdrop of 19th-century Vienna.
In Vienna, aspiring composer Johann Strauss Jr. clashes with his domineering father, who wants him to abandon music for a steady job in a bakery. Torn between his love for the baker’s daughter, Resi, and the encouragement of a wealthy countess, Strauss finds inspiration that leads to the creation of "The Blue Danube."
