Viennese Nights is a 1930 musical operetta film photographed entirely in Technicolor. The movie was filmed in March and April of 1930, before anyone realized the extent of the economic hardships that would arrive with Great Depression, which began in the autumn of that year.

  • Bela Lugosi makes his first appearance in color in this feature as an Hungarian Ambassador named Count von Ratz.
  • This was the first of four original screen musicals that the team of Sigmund Romberg and Oscar Hammerstein II were to create for Warner Bros. over a two-year period. There were to be paid $100,000 apiece per film against 25 percent of the profits. This deal was made early in 1930, before anyone realized that the Great Depression would rear its head by the autumn of that year. These economic problems causes the public to stay away from the lavish spectacle of musicals which were now seen as frivolous and anachronistic. Under these circumstances, Warner Bros. were forced to buy out the contract they had signed with the Romberg-Hammerstein team, early in 1931, after their second musical Children of Dreams (1931), which had already been produced, had been released to dismal reviews.

  • "You Will Remember Vienna"
  • "I Bring a Love Song"

The film survives as a single nitrate Technicolor print, faithfully preserved by UCLA.
