Synopsis
A theatrical master of ceremonies guides us around a rotating musical carousel of illicit love affairs in turn-of-the-century Vienna, passing desire like a relay baton through ten interconnected seductions across all social strata: prostitute, soldier, maid, young gentleman, married woman, husband, sweet girl, poet, actress, and count. Max Ophüls' sparkling, cynical carousel masterpiece adapted from Arthur Schnitzler starring Anton Walbrook and Simone Signoret.
