Das entfesselte Wien

The retrospectively told drama from 1918 to 1922 was advertised as a thrilling Viennese grand drama with moral lessons, in seven acts from the protocol of the morality police. Bruno Kaster played the lead role of a gigolo from the Parisien in Vienna. Steffi, the dancing star of Parisien, the magnificent Anny Ondra. In her top Austrian film, Anny Ondra plays a female vamp, a woman who is a perpetual enigma and who is perfectly seductive in private and on stage, where her partners are the ladies of the chorus. While Ondra is also transformed into a good fairy, who saves the entire police drama and thus relieves the former noble family of the shame and ridicule of an unprecedented decline in standards (oh, the disgrace!), the Grand Duchess Viktoria is also relieved of her last pain... What it requires is the context of the first ten years of the independent Austrian republic and its attitude towards the former imperial family to be worked out. That will turn it into the ultimate experience. For now, it's mainly the happiness from a chapter of Anny Ondra's Austrian career again in a slightly different (and better) light than we had hoped.
