MILIZA KORJUS FILM CLIP 1938

This is the first big musical number in the fantasy life of Johann Strauss called "The Great Waltz." This is the orchestra Strauss has put together on it's first concert, actually a dance concert. Strauss took the job at no charge. Militza Korjus playing the Vienna State Opera's lead coloratura is seen in this exerpt, but does not sing. The singer is the lead tenor of the Vienna State Opera who does an exciting rendation on Strauss's "Artist Life" waltz. This role was played by an American actor who was later known principally for his roles in "B" level westerns. Later on I'll try to include other segments of the film which largely feature Miss Korjus.
