==Reception== ''[[The Monthly Film Bulletin]]'' wrote: "A light and amusing idea β to set ''Die Fledermaus'' in modern Vienna β is here trampled under elephantine treatment. The plot loses itself in hopeless convolutions; the presentation of songs and comedy alike is wearily heavy; the design is a scrapbook of a sort of Teutonic House-and-Garden contemporary. Three artists emerge with credit β Anton Walbrook (who is particularly clever in his delivery of the prologue to the film), Anneliese Rothenberger, as a very jolly Adele, and Anthony Quayle as the Russian general β while Michael Redgrave capers with, one feels, more goodwill than enjoyment. Redgrave, Rothenberger and Quayle sing their own parts with accomplishment; the other roles are dubbed with varying success. The music (with admirable new lyrics by Dennis Arundell) is well performed by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, and survives with the charm of its melodies intact."<ref>{{Cite journal |date=1 January 1956 |title=Oh...

Vintage champagne, bottled in England, it should delight the palate of connoisseur and ninepenny alike. ... The picture creates convincing Continental atmosphere and moves with a merry swing from start to finish."<ref>{{Cite journal |date=17 November 1955 |title=Oh...

Dennis Price makes a striking contrast as his British counterpart, Anneliese Rothenberger sings and acts vivaciously as the truant lady's maid and the other singing roles are competently handled. Camerawork is artistic and the direction is suitably adjusted to the picturebook atmosphere and satirical vein."<ref>{{Cite journal |date=30 November 1955 |title=Oh...
