'''''Oh... Rosalinda!!'''''  (also known as '''''Die Fledermaus''''' <ref name="BFIsearch">{{Cite web |title=Oh... Rosalinda!! |url=https://collections-search.bfi.org.uk/web/Details/ChoiceFilmWorks/150036495 |access-date=26 May 2025 |website=British Film Institute Collections Search}}</ref>) is a 1955 British [[musical film|musical]] [[comedy film]] by the British director-writer team of [[Powell and Pressburger|Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger]].<ref name="BFIsearch" /> The film stars [[Michael Redgrave]], [[Mel Ferrer]], [[Anthony Quayle]], [[Ludmilla Tchérina]] and [[Anton Walbrook]] and features [[Anneliese Rothenberger]] and [[Dennis Price]].

The film is based on the 1874 operetta ''[[Die Fledermaus]]'' (''The Bat'') by [[Johann Strauss II|Johann Strauss]], but updated to take place in post-war [[Vienna]] as occupied by the four Allied powers: the United States, the United Kingdom, France and the USSR. The music, played by the [[Vienna Symphony Orchestra]] under conductor Alois Melichar,<ref>TCM [https://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/516232/oh-rosalinda Music]</ref> has new lyrics by [[Dennis Arundell]], and professional singers dubbed for some of the actors. The choreography is by Alfred Rodrigues, and the production was designed by [[Hein Heckroth]].

As the film closes in the early hours at the party at the hotel, Falke points the message to the representatives of the four powers, while thanking them for their presence: "even the dearest friend loses his attraction if he overstays.... so if you don't mind, go home, please go home"; at which the waltz "Brüderlein, Brüderlein und Schwesterlein"/"Brothers, brothers and sisters" ('Be my friend') starts up.<ref name="operawebber">Webber, Christopher.

''Oh... Rosalinda!!'' is a light-hearted [[Technicolor]] romp that makes full use of the new [[CinemaScope]] process, and is not just a film of a staged production but a filmic operetta.
