Gypsy Princess

About This Movie

So, 'Gypsy Princess' is quite an interesting piece, isn't it? Directed by Miklós Szinetár, it’s a delightful blend of comedy, drama, and music. You get this charming glimpse of early 20th-century Budapest and Vienna, just before everything changes with the war. The operetta, originally by Kálmán Imre, has this light-hearted but poignant vibe, capturing the complexities of love and class in a really engaging way. The performances are lively, and the music? Well, it just pulls you in, making you feel like you're right there in the opera house. It’s recorded from a 1963 performance, which adds a certain authenticity, though you can tell it's a product of its time. The pacing, while reflective of the era, keeps it all moving without losing that theatrical feel.

Interesting take on operetta format for film. · Captivating performances from the Budapest Opera troupe. · Atmospheric representation of early 20th-century Europe.
