Invitation to the Waltz

Lillian Harvey was born only a few miles form where i live in London.She became a star on the continent and England,and for a short time the USA.She had a very engaging voice and could dance.She starred in light operetta films.often,as in this film,set in Central Europe,often,as in this film in the 19th Century.I have never been much of a fan of this genre and this film does little to change my attitude.The plot concerns the Napoleonic war and is set in 1805.the plot is to complex to bother about.I was disappointed that Harvey sang too little and danced too much.I found that generally this was a rather boring film,essentially of its time .
