Waltzes from Vienna
About
Made by Hitchcock as a way of completing his contract with British International Pictures, his lack of enthusiasm for the project shows. It's a soppy, ineffectual musical that focuses on Strauss's frequently thorny relationship with his musically precocious son, which slides further into rivalry as his flesh and blood's talent manifests itself further.
Cast & Connections
- Actor: Fay Compton, Edmund Gwenn, Marcus Barron, Hindle Edgar, Bertram Dench, Sybil Grove
- Director: Alfred Hitchcock
- Writer: Alma Reville, Guy Bolton

In a nutshell
Leading man Gwenn does his best with the material, but even he can't distract us from the unmemorable songs ('Blue Danube' excepted) and daft dialogue.
