Forrest & Wright, made magic adapting classical themes into the Broadway hit KISMET and before that for Eddy & MacDonald's screen operettas. They created a score based on the often ravishing music of the Strauss family, but it is not among their best efforts. This remake of THE GREAT WALTZ was filmed in some spectacular ballrooms, but all the hoop skirts, marble and crystal chandeliers cannot make up for a witless screenplay, wooden acting, and incredibly unimaginative camera work. As a longtime fan of the Strausses and operetta, I found this a profound disappointment. No wonder this is blamed for helping to kill off screen musicals in the 1970s.
