honorary for marika rökk, she was a excellente singer and dancer ...and hungarian.
but this fil and dance was terrible. if you want to see good, you must see hungarian version. the film with anna moffo (english- hungarian) was not the best but better like this.
marika rokk like most other performers were using germany cause it was close to home thus going along with the dictatorship compelllently like others she didnt look at the news or the papers like most artist no new s is good news she live a unrealistic life that time like most artist do today avoiding the news she was nieve like ilse werner she paid for it 4 years of no work durring that time she reformed by entertaining the american troups on stage unitl her come back fregola
Marika Rökk is a Hungarian born actress and the composer of this operetta is also Hungarian, Emerich Kalman. The original Hungarian name of the character played by Marika is Sylvia Vereczky (not Varescu). The next version was made in Hungary in the late 60s or 70s, and Sylvia was played by Anna Moffo.
What do you mean it was about a (sub human) gypsy? who was the gypsy you refer to? The Austrian aristocracy (Edwin and family) or the singer Sylvia Varescu (a Romanian name - don't ever say to a Romanian that he's a gypsy, it is a great insult...). The gypsies in this operette were the musicians, however, one can by no means say the operette was about them.
The point that I wished to make is that this Lady obviously sympathised with the Third reich whose policy was to exterminate Jews and Gypsies. The title is the Gypsy Princess and the composer was a Hungarian Jew. It is doubtful if this operatta would have been performed after 1940. I was obviously commenting on Marikas change of allegiance.
Well, maybe NOT "gassed" but should've been sent back to the kitchen (where they belong)to wash dishes along with the 2 "Hungarians". TERRIBLE video in my opinion! Imre Kálmán's music deserves better than this Kunststück (obviously German or Austrian version) And that's the truth.PRRRRRR !
Yes, the film was made in 1951. Marika Roekk was an Egyptian-born film actress of Hungarian descent. I remember when I lived in West Berlin in 1978 she was appearing at the Theater des Westens in "Graefin Mariza" I think. She was quite a camp figure by that point.

Hi Velma,
No insult meant to Gypsys or Romanians.
The point that I wished to make is that this Lady obviously sympathised with the Third reich whose policy was to exterminate Jews and Gypsies. The title is the Gypsy Princess and the composer was a Hungarian Jew. It is doubtful if this operatta would have been performed after 1940. I was obviously commenting on Marikas change of allegiance.
