action

Under no circumstances does Father Strauss want his two equally gifted sons to become musicians like him. But the resolution fails. First, Johann became the conductor of his own orchestra, to which the singer Jetty Treffz, later his wife, helped. When his father dies he is the “waltz king”, but also a great concert traveler and composer of the “ bat ”. Attempts to make "serious" music fail. Josef is also pursuing the same career. He succeeds his brother in the direction of the orchestra and writes the popular polkas.

Reviews

“Walt Disney's colorful, sentimental Strauss canvas story with a more American than a real Viennese atmosphere. Possible as harmless entertainment from the age of 12. "

"A Disney-produced musical film made with a lot of« Viennese soul », which gives fans of the genre their money's worth."
