The Happiness of Grinzing (German: Das Glück von Grinzing) is a 1933 Czech
dubbing became more widespread. In German-speaking parts of Czechoslovakia
it was released under the title Das Häuschen in Grinzing.
An operetta film, a popular genre during the decade, it is based on the 1911 operetta Alt-Wien which used melodies by Joseph Lanner (1801–1843).[1] The title refers to Grinzing, once a small town outside Vienna and now a suburb of the city. It was one of a group of films produced during the period that set musical melodramas in the outskirts of the Austrian capital, generally appealing to the nostalgic tastes of audiences.[2]
