What happens

The Opera Ball (German: Opernredoute) is a 1931 German musical comedy film directed by Max Neufeld and starring Iván Petrovich, Liane Haid and Georg Alexander. It was shot at the Halensee Studios in Berlin. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Karl Weber and Erich Zander. It was part of a large group of operetta films made during the decade, although the film is not based on the operetta Der Opernball. The following year it was remade in French as Beauty Spot. A 1932 British remake After the Ball was also made. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
