Michael Bohnen, famous baritone of the Metropolitan Opera Company, portrays the role of the great composer. He is supported by Gretl Theimer, who first captured the hearts of American audiences as the heroine of "Zwei Herzen in 3-4 Takt," Lee Parry, Paul Hoerbringer and others. The melodic Strauss music, fine settings and striking photography, make "Wiener Blut" one of the conspicuously good German films...
Many a catchy tune exported from Europe on phonograph records becomes in time a best-seller in the U. S.

...evening at the piano the triumphant waltz-melody of "Zwei Herzen" comes to Toni while the arms of an unknown girl are resting on his shoulder. When he has played and she has danced to his playing, she slips away. Without her, Toni cannot remember a bar of his waltz. The operetta is about to fall for want of it. But love finds out the way to the fraulein's heart, and hers joins with his to recall his "Zwei Herzen...
