I couldn't get over how bad the actress Luise Rainer was that played Strauss's wife! I almost couldn't finish watching because of her. One scene that comes to mind is when Lionel Atwell comes to her house to tell her that Strauss has been having an affair with the Opera singer.
I gave the movie a 6 because of the beautiful music & Miliza Korjus' voice. Was she an Opera singer AND an actress? I'm assuming she really did both because I couldn't see any sign that she was lipping it. She was so pretty and the gowns she wore were gorgeous. The scenes where she dances with Strauss make the movie. It's worth it to watch this just to see them swirling around the dance floor to his music.
