The Great Waltz

'The Great Waltz' is a 1938 American biographical film based very loosely on the life of Johann Strauss II, vintage glossy 8 x 10 promotional photograph.

It starred Luise Rainer, Fernand Gravet (Gravey) and Miliza Korjus. Rainer received top billing at the producer's insistence, but her role is comparatively minor as Strauss' wife, Poldi Vogelhuber. It was the only starring role for Korjus, who was a famous opera soprano and played one in the film.

Joseph Ruttenberg won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography. Korjus was nominated for Supporting Actress and Tom Held for Film Editing. The film was popular in Australia and was distributed largely throughout Sydney and Melbourne for two years after its initial release.

Verso is blank and clean. In very good condition with slight signs of wear and handling.
