Strange by any measure. Did Powell and Pressburger really make this? A dreadful version of Strauss' masterpiece. The color and scenic design is somewhat similar to P&P's Tales of Hoffman but way overdone. The performances are embarassing. Lots of yelling and loud singing with absolutely no subtelty..Worth a look for the scenic design and Anton Walbrook who seems to recognize how silly the whole thing is. Not shown in the US until 1985, for good reason.
