The Waltz King (1963) The Magical World of Disney

[@edwarddejong8025]

Senta Berger was absolutely gorgeous. She is 22 yrs old in this film. And she is from Vienna, Austria!

Why are the classic Walt Disney so much better than anything they make now? They lost something in today's world. This is just a great movie.

Not the same company as when Walt Disney was alive.

Because now it's Disney, not Walt Disney, who's making the content (I can't call them movies anymore😢). I remember watching his show on Sunday at 6pm, he'd be in his office telling us about what we were going to be seeing that night .. Charlie the Lonesome Cougar, The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh, the Three Lives of Thomasina, The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (with a teenage Kurt Russell)... THAT was why it was called the Wonderful World of Disney ❤❤❤

I was 11 years old when I saw this film and was so fascinated. Very happy to see this wonderful movie again after 60 years! Thanks for posting!

[@WingChoy-j2x]

It was a great classic movie that left a lasting impression on me when I first watched it at 15. The characters were truly memorable, each bringing depth to the story. The beautiful waltz music added a timeless elegance to the film, making it even more enchanting. Senta's beauty and Kerwin's handsome charm only enhanced the magic of the movie, making it a truly unforgettable experience."

[@daleburrell6273]

...I thought so too.

[@barrhavener]

Good movie - it is a little bit closer to the real life of Johann Strauss Junior than the 1938 "The Great Waltz". In that movie, Hollywood created a fictional "Mrs. Strauss" and his opera singer wife Jetty became his extra-marital girl friend.

I have always loved Johann Strauss and waltzing. When my brother was 6 and I was 5 we won a waltzing competition. Have loved waltzing ever since

[@philipcommins1585]

What a delightful story I never knew Disney made this movie. Walzes are such happy music.

[@ctb4862]

Den Film kannte ich gar nicht. Senta Berger, Fritz Eckhardt und Peter Kraus - unglaublich, so jung als Strauss-Sohn Josef! 2022 hab ich ihn mit über 80 auf der Bühne live singen hören. Fit wie ein Turnschuh! Und Senta - so eine schöne und talentierte Frau, immer noch.

[@marymayer2282]

From the dorseys to Harry James to Fred Astaire to Glenn Miller to the waltz kings and loving every minute of it I think it was professional jealousy senior didn't want any competition from junior

[@marymayer2282]

I remember seeing this when it was first telecast in 1963 I was 11 learned to fall in love with waltzes

Thanks for this delicious film with many famous Austrian actors and characters. I live almost next to the Viennese opera house and love this presentation. I did not know it exists. The operette ``Die Fledermaus``, The Bat, is shown every New Year`s Eve in the opera and there is a huge screen built up before the building so that the public can participate. 🎩

[@eveyholmes]

Which German actors do you refer to? 3 of the actors including the leading lady, were born in Austria. Of course these would be considered sometimes German, though they're Austrian. The Lead actor Kevin Matthew's is American and Brian Aherne is British.

[@pharmabaghdad]

This is a great movie about Strauss’s family and music. I really enjoyed every single second of it and I feel I wish I had lived in Vienna in Strauss tine. However, the movie ignored the great waltz in the world “The Blue Danube Waltz” and I was disappointed the movie didn’t play this magical waltz. Overall, it was a great movie.

[@barrhavener]

So are Emperor Waltz, Morning Paper Waltz, Accelerations Waltz, One Day When We Were Young. Vienna Blood, etc., --- these are not in the movie. I am surprise that the movie mentioned his brother Josef Strauss (who actually was the Engineering Manager for the City of Vienna). He invented the street sweeping machine, now used by many cities around the world.

I finally found this wonderful movie,I saw when I was barely 7 and never forgot it. The reason I went to Austria a couple of times because of this music

[@debburton339]

I just read this in the Wikipedia article on Die Fledermaus: According to the archivist of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, "Twenty years after its production as a lyric opera in Vienna, [composer and conductor Gustav] Mahler raised the artistic status of Strauss's work by producing it at the Hamburg Opera House [...] all the leading opera houses in Europe, notably Vienna and Munich, have brightened their regular repertoire by including it for occasional performance."[3] An awesome result for ‘the Waltz King’!

Sadly, the last decent film made by actor Kerwin Mathews, everybody's favorite childhood fantasy hero (Jack the Giant Killer, 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Gulliver, etc). After The Waltz King, he knocked around Europe for a few years, then returned to America but could only find work in low-budget junk (Boy Who Cried Werewolf, Octa-man!, etc) before giving it up to run his famous antique store Pierre Deux in San Francisco. After his big heyday (late 50's/early 60's) , things just never worked out for Mathews, always a modest, unassuming and very professional guy. LR

[@cacatr4495]

Seven weeks later? Wow. It sounds like they didn't bother to grieve, as though they didn't love or miss them or experience any sense of loss.

[@cacatr4495]

@@melianna999 Maybe so, but grief takes time, and they didn't even wait 6 months to remarry. Regardless of when they had met, grief is so demanding that it simply takes time to process. It seems clear that they had miniscule grief. Maybe their first was an abusive shrew such that they didn't miss them (for good reason), or maybe their heart was shallow such that they didn't feel loss. We don't know; it is notable though.
