The World's in Love (German: Die ganze Welt dreht sich um Liebe) is a 1935 Austrian comedy film directed by Viktor Tourjansky and starring Mártha Eggerth, Leo Slezak and Ida Wüst.[1] It is based on the operetta Clo-Clo. The film's sets were designed by the art director Julius von Borsody. It was remade in Britain the following year as Dreams Come True.

Critical reception

[edit]

Writing for The Spectator in 1936, Graham Greene gave the film a neutral review, describing it as a "devastatingly gay film". Greene praised the comedic interplay between Leo Slezak and Hans Moser, however he designed to praise Mártha Eggerth for her performance explaining that he had a peculiar antipathy toward her acting.[2]
