EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Julien Duvivier's The Great Waltz (1938), we are transported back in time to the enchanting world of Johann Strauss and his mesmerizing melodies. Fernand Gravet, portraying the legendary composer himself, exudes a magnetic charm as he holds a violin in hand, ready to serenade us with his musical genius. Standing beside him is Luise Rainer, radiating elegance and grace as she embodies the role of an enigmatic muse. Her presence adds an air of mystery and allure to this scene, leaving us intrigued by her connection to Strauss and his music. Completing this trio is Miliza Korjus, whose ethereal beauty matches her angelic voice. As she delicately grasps her own violin, one can almost hear the harmonious notes that will soon fill the air. The composition of this photograph perfectly captures the essence of The Great Waltz - a film that celebrates not only Johann Strauss' extraordinary talent but also explores themes of love, passion, and artistic pursuit. Through their expressions alone, Gravet, Rainer, and Korjus transport us into a world where music becomes more than just sound; it becomes an expression of emotions too profound for words. This stunning image serves as a testament to British Film Institute's dedication to preserving cinematic treasures like The Great Waltz. It allows us to relish in the magic created by these talented actors who bring history alive through their performances.
