Il grande valzer (1938)
Il giovane Johann Strauss, insoddisfatto della sua vita di impiegato di banca, decide di lasciare il lavoro e di consacrarsi totalmente alla sua passione per la musica. I suoi valzer vengono ben presto notati dalla bellissima cantante Carla Donner con cui Strauss intreccia una intensa relazione. A nulla vale la gelosia di sua moglie Poldi che alla fine decide di farsi da parte per non essere d'intralcio alla vita e all'ispirazione di Johann. Il musicista, però, tornerà con lei, serbando nel cuore la nostalgia per un amore perduto...
