Kaiserball

Just fun and you cannot take one moment seriously. It is just light fluff, a soufflé but one that rises enough to be enjoyable.

A fine Austrian and German cast make this fun.

Filmed in golden AgfaFarb and on location the film looks lovely still.

As is usual in this type of film the hero and heroine tend towards prettiness whilst the supporting characters are given the best lines.

A pleasant example of mid 1950s Austro-kitsch but you could do a lot worse than spend 90 minutes with this excellent cast doing what they do best.

Better still as of writing both of the heroines, Sonja Ziemann and Hannelore Bollmann, are still alive. I do wonder what they remember of this film!
