La donna che ho sognato

I watched this film out of curiosity more than anything else and several things bemused me:

1) Marika Rökk: Whilst one cannot doubt for one minute that she was fearless and acrobatic dancer, the dance numbers are totally graceless. The whole thing looks "heavy" and Marika Rökk is like a heifer. In addition, and probably due to the garish Agfa colour, she looks a bit like a drag queen... Saying that, with the right director and right script, she could have been a really good comedienne comparable to the talented Lucille Ball.

2) Both males leads are so plain and lackluster and totally forgettable.

3) The script is very choppy as if scenes were put together in a higgldy-piggledy fashion.

For me the only pleasurable parts were the scenes with the great Grethe Weiser... It is a shame she only appears in just a few scenes.

Overall, I would not recommend this film, unless you are an unconditional fan of Marika Rökk.
