review
A beautifully made and acted drama from the tail-end of the German silent era, Hungarian Rhapsody still plays well today, with a strong sense of irony amid its melodramatic content. Director Hanns Schwarz, who later emigrated to England (where he worked as Hans Schwartz), shows a commanding use of the camera and the cast -- as handsome as one could ask for in this era of German history -- presents some startlingly vivid and engaging performances.
