The Cabbie's Song (German: Fiakerlied) is a 1936 German romantic drama film directed by E. W. Emo and starring Paul Hörbiger, Gusti Huber, and Franz Schafheitlin. The film offers a nostalgic view of Vienna during the old Imperial Era. It takes its name from a popular Viennese song, and is set in the 1880s at the time of the song's composition. It was made at the Bavaria Studios in Munich and partly shot on location in Budapest and Vienna. The film's sets were designed by the art director Emil Hasler.
