Titanic vals

Of all the "Titanic Vals" adaptations, this one is my favourite.

Even though it's older than the one with Dem Rădulescu, and the video quality is a bit lower (black and white etc..), it is very well done. Even from the beginning, when the characters are being presented, the movie shows a lot of originality.

The cast is very well chosen. The humble role of Spirache Necșulescu is exceptionally well portrayed by Birlic, with his big, puppy-eyed expression. All the scenes containing Chiriachița and Dacia (the mother-in-law and the wife) are so funny, I had to watch them hundreds of times and they still managed to make me laugh out loud.

The movie deserves a 10!

First, it is the merit of Grigore Vasiliu - Birlic to give one of the most impressive and touchings versions of Titanic Vals , the play of Tudor Musatescu. and the art of Birlic is part from a great mechanism defining family, politics, habits in a small town. a film in which every actor , including not the most brillant Mitzura Argheyi, propose a seductive performance. the atmosphere, the humor, the dialogues, the hypocrisy are reflected in admirable manner.
