In Vienna, aspiring composer Johann Strauss Jr. clashes with his domineering father, who wants him to abandon music for a steady job in a bakery. Torn between his love for the baker’s daughter, Resi, and the encouragement of a wealthy countess, Strauss finds inspiration that leads to the creation of "The Blue Danube."

Although I don’t think it offers much in terms of intrigue, it’s mostly watchable and definitely not as bad as its reputation / I was expecting

Weird this is Hitchcock but it’s a fine “bio” movie from the 30s with good performances but a lot of questionable character motivations

Hitchcock is not very good as romance director. But the movie has some pretty interesting shots. And a great ending that made me add one more star from what I originally intended to!
