Compares well with the 1962 in a few ways

This is a black and white film of the light operetta, all in German. A much less lavish production than the 1962 version, but the story is better told, and the snowy setting is very pleasant. The singing is obviously dubbed, but is lovely. The violin playing and dancing, though, aren't nearly as good as in the 1962 version, and the dancing, with knickers showing all over the place, is kind of sleazy. The Hungarian costumes don't have the benefit of colour, and they're not all that exciting, but Christal's everyday trachten and hair are much better than in the 1962.
