There are many films who have become famous on their own right, while others who deserve it simply haven't being this more common amongst European ones. Valse Brillante is a well crafted, well written and above all finely acted French musical, where songs and dialogue perfectly combine together.
A fabulous confection. A prima donna hires a man to pretend to be her lover so as to protect her from an unwelcome suitor.
The partnership of husband-wife team Marta Eggerth (the more this viewer sees of her, after being indifferent to her in a few of her better known films, the more she likes her) and Jan Kiepura was the main reason for seeing 'Valse Brillante' (translated into English from French as 'brilliant waltz').Eggerth and Kiepura and their chemistry are also the best things about 'Valse Brillante'.
