Roses from the South (German: Rosen aus dem Süden) is a 1934 German historical musical film directed by Walter Janssen and starring Paul Hörbiger, Gretl Theimer and Rózsi Csikós.[1] [2] Location shooting took place around Vienna. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Wilhelm Depenau and Erich Zander. It is an operetta film, a popular genre during the decade. The title references the waltz of the same title composed by Johann Strauss.
Johann Strauss comes to the rescue of a struggling Viennese wine merchant and his attractive daughter by turning up to conduct the orchestra at a party and saving the family business from ruin.
It was distributed in America by Casino Film Exchange in 1935 and a New York Times review considered it "bound to please Yorkville audiences or any other listeners familiar with the German tongue and its variations".[3]
