THE CONGRESS DANCES (1932) (Church of Film)

Vienna, 1815. Napoleon, vanquished for the moment, awaits his fate on the island of Elba while Europe’s Old Guard meets in Vienna to carve up the continent for themselves. But there are other intrigues abounding,those of the heart. When a glove saleswoman (Lilian Harvey) finds herself enraptured by the Russian Czar Alexander (Willi Fritsch), the fate of nations may be forever changed. A cherished masterwork of elegant humor and sexual intrigue, and the pinnacle of the star pairing of Fritsch and Harvey, THE CONGRESS DANCES is a treasure of Weimar operetta and comedy!
