The Congress Dances (German: Der Kongreß tanzt) is a 1955 Austrian historical musical film directed by Franz Antel and starring Johanna Matz, Rudolf Prack and Hannelore Bollmann.[1] It is a remake of the 1930 film The Congress Dances, about a romance that takes place during the Congress of Vienna in 1814.
It was made with the backing of Gloria Film, a leading West German distributor. The film was shot in Eastmancolor, with sets designed by art directors Isabella and Werner Schlichting. It was shot at three studios in Vienna, the Rosenhugel, Sievering and Schönbrunn Studios. Location shooting took place around the city, and in the Wachau. It was the first Austrian film to be made in Cinemascope.
