Synopsis

The young singer Gretl has a love for classical music, but finds it out of fashion in post-war Vienna where more Jazzy tunes are popular. She meets the composer Franz who has similar views to her, and is consequently out-of-work. She manages to get them jobs in a bar playing modern music, despite their distaste for it. Gretl becomes concerned when she believes Franz has fallen for American singer Gloria, and his turn towards the sort of modern music she plays threatens his hopes of a commission for a classical ballet work.
