For some reason, European filmmakers are irresistibly attracted to the notion of sex and betrayal under the big top. The Austrian/German Hippodrome stars Gerhard Riedmann as a circus tiger trainer, hopelessly in love with ballerina Margit Nunme. The girl plays up to Riedmann so that she can join his act. The trainer is transferred to another circus, so Margit takes up with sharpshooter Willy Birgel. When Riedmann returns, the jealous Birgel drugs his tigers, then kills himself when he's found out. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The name of Austrian director Ernst Marischka was virtually synonymous with "musical comedy" during the late 1940s - early 1950s. In Marischka's Season in Salzburg, the music is given equal footing with the comedy, resulting in a very well-balanced film. Popular leading-lady Hannerl Matz portrays a much-coveted miss who undergoes several romantic misadventures during the Salzburg tourist season. While Matz is most delightful, her male co-stars tend to be on the stodgy side. Season in Salzburg is adapted from the stage operetta by Max Wallner and Kurt Feltz. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

- 1949
This Austrian comedy has a plotline that would never pass muster in these days of political correctness. O.W. Fischer plays a randy Romeo of the love-'em-and-leave-'em variety. When he falls genuinely in love with a woman (Nadja Tiller), she wants nothing to do with him. So he gets the girl's attention by kidnapping six other lovely young ladies! Strangely, reviewers in 1949 saw nothing morally suspect about these actions; their only complaint was that the film failed to meet its potential. Evidently, Maerchen vom Glück was Nadja Tiller's second film, following her debut feature Eroica; perhaps significantly, it is missing from most "official" lists of her credits. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
