Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht

Zarah Leander's singing was magnificent! Such somber dark voice, really setting the mood for this romance tragedy! Leander is an actress I've become a fan of. She's deliberately forgotten today, but there is such an soul to her presence which makes her films an instant emotional draw. And the feelings are strong as she has a passionate relationship with the composer Tschaikowsky. The movie centered around Leander builds nicely, but falls a little in the final act when the two get separated.
