Several guests arrive during high season at the Weissen Rössl (White Horse) Inn, a picturesque Austrian inn by a lake. Josefa, the landlady, is particularly pleased to see one of them again, lawyer Dr. Siedler. Her chief waiter Leopold is unhappy about this because he has unrequited love for her.

The first talking musical ,film version.

This is the first 1935 film version of the operetta, the first talking version. This is the better version than the a.g.f.a color ,1952 version, produced by Willi Forst .It takes place in the modern ,1935 , times, although you have your traditional Austrian Folk music and dance numbers in this film. It's also one of the earliest Hiemat film made, before the term came out by frustrated Germans ,which meant that it would take 1980 to pay their world war 1 dept and 1990 for full recovery and had to escape with film that focus on nature and mountains. There are a few more songs in this film. The one I like is the one sang by Chritstl Mardayn, as the host Josepha in the white Horse inn, when she's singing to the guest who had come in from Austria's traditional showers. This was made wen Austria was still a democracy and independent. Herman Thimig plays the best Leopold,of the other version,in his hear sickness for Josepha.Frtiz Odemar ,character actor , plays a non singing ,no Glamorous D.r,Siedler. I have to admit I like Jopies version better , but, Odmars performance is good too.Jolly big character actor Willi Schaeffers,of Fool in the snow, plays a version Giesecke that runs a bathing suit industry, who want His daughter to marry his competitor. Ann Markart plays Ottillie , who prefers D.r. Siedler. Theo Ligens usually plays butler roles.In this case he playing the business man Furst,Giesecke is trying to hook up with his daughter to. The actress Marion Stanior, Who plays Clara, the one that Furt Falls for , has a slight Betty Boop type voice. German fat character actor Frtiz Imhoff, plays the mayor ,who organizes the towns Hiemat celebration Other number that I like is the combo slight tap dancing and Austrian folk dance that Marion does with another dancer. It all culminate in a mock wedding participated By a mad Herman with Christl as participating in a historical event that happen in their town. This is the best of all the film version. although the print is sharp and has no shrinkage ,it has scratches that could have been digitally eliminated. Made before Hitler's invasion. 03/26/14
