Alfred Hitchcock Strange, but: The life story of Johann Strauss not only interested film directors like Franz Antel, but also Alfred Hitchcock. The Brit produced a biopic under the title in 1934 Waltzes from Vienna onto the screen. It is clear from the film that the plot is based on an operetta of the same name: the film not only highlights the conflict between waltz king Johann Strauss and his father of the same name, his predecessor on the dance music throne, but also places the son in an invented love triangle.
