Karneval und Liebe

A weaker Austrian Lamač film with his favorite actor Hermann Thimig. This musical film based on the themes of Johann Strauss Jr.'s works feels very mediocre in terms of this collaboration. Thimig once again plays a charmer from the revue theater, he has several cute girls around him, and his star status is accentuated. The classic funny scenes are the responsibility of the classic Hans Moser. Seemingly everything we could ask for from a 1934 spectacle is here, and yet these same people were making more significant achievements at this time. Finally, there is also the complete absence of a prominent actress or singer in the entire film, and that's saying something. (29/07/2020)
