Multiple functions of Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder on Waltz have given film an infectious quality that surmounts the gorgeously apt trappings against which is projected the fable of an American travelling phonograph salesman.

Brackett and Wilder have made up with casualness and charm -- and with a great deal of clever sight-humor -- for the meagerness of the idea.
March 25, 2006 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
Generally reckoned to be Wilder's worst movie.

A pastel comedy that presents two dangers disguised as virtue: that of conservatism and that of progress. [Full Review in Spanish]
August 14, 2019 | Full Review… -
Brackett and Wilder get their effect by combining a free-for-all farcical story with formal magnificence in setting, and costume.
March 15, 2019 | Full Review… -
Not one of Billy Wilder's strong films, this bizarre period musical teams the director with crooner Bing Crosby, who's pleasant enough and some of the tunes are medlodic.

Audience Reviews for The Emperor Waltz
-
Feb 24, 2018A work so slight so as to nearly anger one with the gall of it's presumptions and yet the charisma of its main participants do manage to engage and, indeed, to charm. Crosby is a Yank abroad who runs into a bankrupt royale and sparks fly despite position. Joan Fontaine is especially surprising, even though you'll wonder if the featured animals aren't doing the main heavy lifting.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer
