The Merry Widow (1962)
Peter Alexander in a starring role: Franz Lehár's operetta presents him in a comedy with plenty of music! Bon vivant Danilo enjoys Paris to the fullest. He's the nephew of a wealthy factory owner and can therefore afford it. But he's supposed to concentrate on his uncle's company in the city on the Seine. When he doesn't, Uncle André devises a ruse. Hanna, who becomes André's "merry widow," is also involved in this...
